Communities rallied to chase out fags, child molesters, perverts of all stripes. I fail to see the controversy.
When I was around 10 we had a similar incident in our local lark in Indiana. There was guy being way to friendly with the boys playing the park. My dad, uncle and about five other fathers went to the park and had ‘talk’ with him. He was never seen in town again after that. Back during a time when men took the idea of protecting their children and families seriously. Most 40 y/o dads today are more likely to wear a rainbow shirt in June than confront a child molester in the park. Sad.
