The boys mother is furious and I don't blame her. She found them in bed together. He is lucky she didn't kill him. I would have honestly beat the disgusting predator up. I hope they find the site they met on-line on and make parents aware of it. I hate I have to blog about stories like this I wish they didn't exist but unfortunately they do. If this story isn't proof that more needs to be done to protect children on line I don't know what does. I pray that this 15 year old child gets the interventions he needs so he doesn't end up a child sexual abuse statistic. Crying, Rosie

41 year old Andre Walker remains in jail, he is charged with aggravted statutory rape.
LC Granderson watched Walker grow up. He isn't surprised his old neighbor is facing the charges. He describes Walker as unstable.
"I don't think he thought it throught. He's just that kind of person." said Granderson.
According to police records, Walker was found naked in bed with a 15 year-old boy. The report says, the teen's mom walked in on the two in bed together.
"That would be devastating." said Granderson.
"To be honest with you, it's inhumane. You are a grown man, what would you want to be caught in a bed with a little boy for? That ain't cool." said neighbor, Davis Errance.
The police records show, Walker said he met the teen online in a chat room, but thought he was an adult.
Davis Errance has a host of nieces and nephews around the same age as Walker's victim. He isn't buying the story.
"It's a child's look, you got to think, if it's a child or a grown person." said Errance.
The Memphis Child Advocacy Center is warnign parents to watch their kids online. Block content, review their web history and talk to them about the dangers of meeting people over the internet. They're just a few extra steps by parents that can help keep their children safe.
