I don't know what Foley's intentions were. If they were sexual in nature, then shame on him and good riddance. But I think we're beginning to create a situation where adults can't have any communication with kids not their own without fear of being seen as a predator. There needs to be a happy medium somewhere between protecting kids but also not creating a situation where people are afraid to even interact.
That is true.
If it were only thank you notes and emails, it's highly unlikely Foley would have resigned. Unfortunately, it seems there's more to it and Rep. Foley offered up one more safe seat in the House to Nancy Pelos & Co.
