Getting closer to the truth

I have say I stumbled on the book Missing 411 quite by accident, a friend had tipped me off to the book, but I have to admit I approached the conversation with a bit of a narrow mind. It wasn't that I didn't want to read the book, I just had a prejudgment in my heart and mind already.

I am a crisis outreach mentor, and with that, I help all sorts of people from every kind of walk of life you can imagine. Everything that people share with me is held in the strictest of confidence except where children's welfare are concerned. Authorities do not take abuse lightly especially when it is in the form of any sort of child abuse. When someone approaches me with such a case, I am legally bound to report it, (I would report it even if I wasn't legally bound.) but I will say, just because I have to report something of that nature doesn't mean that I hold judgment. My training in outreach doesn't have room for that. Everyone has the right to believed, and I can't explain why I didn't take this approach with this book.
