The house where boys knock

Post by BLueRibbon »

People frequently refer to MAPs as predators, as if we stalk the street for kids, leering at them from a blacked-out van. Quite the opposite, we are often 'targeted' by boys... not for sex but for attention, activities, platonic love, or merely a comfortable place to hang out.

I love the title of this one. Reminds me of a 1970s Italian film.
Short little article (no complaints), and all points true.
In the absence of a clear blueprint, a good imagination is essential.
