I had to deal with a lot of parents who were in denial about their messed up kids, or they were indifferent. Even worse were the
ones who lied about, made excuses for, or actually encouraged their delinquent juveniles. I had to deal with horrible parents
who covered for and protected their kids, let their kids wreak havoc and then some of them even blamed ME for their kids’
police records and subsequent life of crime. I wish I were joking but I am not. I saw a lot of kids cause a lot of heartache for their
parents – parents from every socio-economic status and demographic including those who were politicians, judges, and police
officers.

I solved a lot of crimes but plenty more were unsolved because the suspects were unidentified or I couldn’t get quite enough
proof on the culprits I suspected.

I investigated suspiciously open doors at houses, businesses, and vehicles. I crawled in through a few windows. I checked houses,
apartments, sheds, business, parking lots, and parks for suicidal people. Sometimes I found them.

I responded to many bank robberies, violations of no-contact orders, and I dealt with abused and neglected and runaway
children who didn’t want to go home after school. Back when we had a secure locked-down facility to take runaway kids to, I
drove a lot of them there where they would receive needed counseling and resources.
