She Almost Let A Dangerous Criminal Into Her Home One Night When She Was Only 12
When a stranger who says they need help knocks on your door, it can be hard to know what to do. You want to help someone in need, but you also don’t want to risk letting a dangerous stranger into your house.
One woman remembers almost letting a dangerous criminal into her home one night when she was only 12.
When she was a kid, she lived with her mom and sister, who was two years younger than her. Her mom was often busy working long shifts at their local airport seven nights a week, leaving her and her sister home alone a lot.
Thankfully, they did live in a pretty secure home. All of the windows in the house had gates over them, and there was a gate in front of their front door as well, which had to be unlocked in order to get through the door.
One night while home alone, she and her sister were watching TV before getting ready for bed around 10:00 pm. She was 12-years-old, and her sister was 10.
All of a sudden, she noticed some strange sounds coming from her front door. After listening closely for a while, she realized someone was banging on the gate to the front door.
Because she was young and naive, she went ahead and opened the door to see who was outside.
“It was a young white man in his late 20s,” she recalled.
“He had a black and white striped shirt with a Jean jacket. I asked him what he needed, and he sat there with a blank face and said calmly that he needed me to let him in.”

How freaky is that?
She asked the strange young man why he needed to enter her house, and he repeated himself. Then, he asked to be let in because he was “in trouble.”
She started feeling unsettled when she noticed the young man continuously looking over his shoulder as if someone was after him. Thankfully, that was the deciding factor that made her not unlock the gate for him.
As soon as she decided not to let this man into her house, a police car showed up at her house, and cops exited the car with their guns.
“They gave him directions to walk backward with his hands up, and at that moment, I decided now was the time to close the door,” she said.
That’s when she realized that when the young man said he was “in trouble,” he must’ve meant he was in trouble with the law, as the police had clearly been after him.
To this day, she wonders what could’ve happened to her and her sister if she had let the young criminal into her house.
