[7 / 2 / ?]
>Be 17 years old, I'm now 18
>Counselor in training at an all boys summer camp
>Been going there since I was 10
>Placed in 7-8-year-old cabin
>8-year-old kid (not using his name) gets attached to me sort of as a protective figure
>Apparently he'd been homesick before I got there
>4th-5th night there, I'm asleep and he wakes me up at 5am, quietly crying
>Says he had a nightmare about his parents
>I'm thinking, "wow, there are 4 counselors that knew him for 2 weeks longer and he came to me."
>Asks me if he can sleep in my bed until morning
>No wtf... obviously not what I actually said to a crying kid
>I say no, but we can sit and talk about it until you stop crying
>Talks about the nightmare and how he misses his parents, somehow 20 minutes later the conversation gets to me explaining the vastness of the universe to him
>I get so tired, he looks so desperate, wtf is a human with care instincts supposed to do?
>Not wanting him to cry again, I let him sleep with me for an hour and wake him up to send him to his bed before wake up bell
>I thought nothing of it
>Here's the kicker though...
>Then it happened two more times
>3rd time was really bad
>He woke me up at 3, and I didn't wake him up before the wake up bell, so other cabin counselors saw him in bed with me
>They didn't think I was doing anything sexual or whatever, but one nudged me it'd probably be best not to let him do it again.
>2 months after camp
>Watch a pedophile documentary
>ohfuc.jpg
>Now I'm scared about what the kid might've said to his parents
>Also, is that justified? I don't think it is now.
Even if the child is the one who's asking to sleep with you, it still should be avoided... I think
I mean we would've had to deal with him crying about being homesick had I not let him...
God dammit, I don't know what to think. I've sobbed over the fact that I may have ruined a person's life by tarnishing their childhood with a memory of sleeping with a teenager.
What do? Should I even go back to the camp?
