Turned out, it was the son of a couple who lived in the nearby cul-de-sac. Our next-door neighbor was friends with the mom. I moved soon after, but I always wondered if that peeping Tom had turned to worse crimes, as Ted Bundy did. Chances are, he didn't, but it always makes me wonder if I should've said something and if I had, would the mom have believed me or defended her son? Probably the latter....Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-66609193103970227272016-08-17T00:02:44.354-07:002016-08-17T00:02:44.354-07:00I know what you were watching, and the parents gav...I know what you were watching, and the parents gave me the shits.

The cops usually can't do much since no crime has been committed.
