A man named Tom from the park keeps approaching my brother Dale and me, asking invasive questions like where we sleep at night and if we have a home. When we told him we live in our town, he asked how we afforded our haircuts, and when we said our mom paid for them, he questioned our mom's existence. He pretends like he's worried about our well-being but never offered any help or reported any suspected abuse. Tom, who attends Connect church, which is located next to the park.
