Summary

In the early 1970's a protective initiative was put in place to protect children from predators, it was called 'Stranger Danger'. This was constructed to make the public aware that there are people who only want to hurt your children and you need to be constantly aware of those around you. However, this did not work. At all. It actually caused mass panic, creating a climate of fear and suspicion. It also averted parents eyes away from those who are most likely to be hurting their children, those that they trust most. Unfortunately, the family in this story is going to fall victim to one of the biggest manipulators we have ever seen. Once he is let into this loving family he is going to begin spinning his predatory web of deceit, blackmail, intimidation, and fear. This is a story of a loving family, who despite being infiltrated by a monster, survived to tell the tale as an unbroken unit.
