and looking her directly in her eyes. “I know that you don’t know me and all you have to go off of is this one incident. I totally understand. I get that you are doing your job and I can respect that but while doing your job try to remember that as humans we sometimes make mistakes. We sometimes misjudge people’s character because of what they show us. Reggie never showed me a bad side of him. He was always kind and respectful. I’ve never even witnessed the man raising his voice. That part of him he kept hidden very well. I realize that in this situation, I was very naïve. I was fooled by a wolf in sheep’s clothing. That man has been preying on me since day one but I couldn’t see it. I opened my door and allowed him into my home giving him access to my children. That is something that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. However, everything that has happened today has taught me a very valuable lesson and nothing like this will ever happen again. I love my daughter’s more than anything. Anyone who knows me can verify that! I would’ve never left them with Reggie if I’d had any idea that he would do anything to harm either of them.” I paused and wiped my tears and also repositioned Lola on my lap. “You can’t imagine the relief I felt when that doctor told me that there had been no penetration. It was worse enough that he’d even touched her but I thank God that I’d left my pocketbook and went back when I did because this could’ve turned out so much worse. I look at this as a learning experience and you best believe I have learned my lesson. I hate so much that this happened…”
    “Are you done with your little speech?” Mrs. Reynolds snapped roll ing her eyes behind her glasses and letting out a frustrated breath.
    “Excuse me?” I asked sitting up in my seat. This bitch’s attitude was the worse and I wasn’t sure how much longer I could deal with it before I slapped the shit out of her! The only thing that had been stopping me was knowing that if I touched her. I was no doubt going to jail and Social Services wouldn’t hesitate to snatch my daughters. For those reasons, I kept telling myself that I had to remain calm.
    “Listen, I am going to be totally honest with you.” She started. “I have no sympathy or respect for wom en like you. You allow these men that you barely know to come into home around your children and then things like this occur. When you lay down and bring a child/children into this world your life is no longer about you, Ms. Chambers. That means every decision that you make affects your children but obviously you weren’t thinking about your children when you allowed Mr. Wade into your home. All you were thinking about was how kind, nice, and respectful he seemed to be.”
    “Hold up, that’s not fair. You have no right to sit up here and act as if I am some man-hungry female who puts a man before my children! You don’t know me! I am a damn good mother to my children. I didn’t bring this man into my home overnight. I’d known him for months.” I checked her bougie ass! “How was I supposed to know that he was a pedophile?”
    “While you had been knowing him for months did you ever visit him in South Boston? Ya know…get to know his family…learn a little bit about his background.” She stared at me and waited for my answer.
    “No but…” 
    “Exactly because had you taken the time to visit him and gotten to know a little bit about his background beside s the fact that he was nice, kind and respectful Reggie. Maybe his sister could’ve told you that he’d spent four years in prison a while back for molesting her daughter!” She opened her briefcase and placed her pad and pen back inside. Then she stood with her briefcase in hand. “You’ll be hearing from me soon. Sometime during the week.” With that she strutted off down the hallway her heels making a loud clicking noise against the tile floor with every step that she
