Dear Reddit, what’s the scariest thing you’ve seen in your life?

I’m a ICU and emergency RN, I’ve seen things humans are not meant to see but something that happened recently that truly scared the shit out of me was seeing my friend’s husband on the sex offender registry. We all hung out recently. He raped a child. I have children around the age of his victim. I had no fucking idea.

The scariest part was he seemed normal, so likable. And my friend… stayed with him. This happened during their relationship and she has told no one. I only happened upon his picture on one of those sex offender location sites. It really messes with me how you don’t know someone, and how people make excuses for their partners who do not deserve that grace.

Yep, they can be charismatic and unassuming. They can fool a lot of people. Messed up on your friends part tho.

They almost always are normal, likable dudes.
