Two low/middle class white kids, if anyone was interested. The foster parents (vic's biological parents) were real stand-up, classy and intelligent types who handled the situation as well as anyone could have. I'll withold my opinion of the BG's parents, and as much as I would like to blame the social services worker who placed him there, I don't know I can.
From a forensic standpoint, the BG is a fascinating example of a junior sexual predator-in-training, just a complete and total pathological monster. As I was interviewing him, I couldn't help but ponder what sort of person this kid might grow up into, which in turn helped me focus on making as solid of a case as possible. We'll see what happens in court...if nothing else, I have 14 years to go until retirement. Here's hoping he's off the streets for a while.
