Implications

  today.
• This effects the state by maybe all people are
  afraid like me now and some people might have
  gone through this also.
• This effects the nation by letting them know that
  people out there are like this and parents more
  afraid of letting children out on their own.
• This effects the world by everyone else knowing
  the same thing that there are people out there
  who want to torture others and them now being
  afraid that someday it could be them. Also maybe
  some people arent afraid because they think they
  can defend themselves.
