I am friends with a guy who spend 16 years in prison but reformed his life with Christian missionaries who specialize in visiting prisons. He's 42 now and has a successful real estate business and has an impeccable reputation in our small town.
He had an alcoholic father and his dumbass whore-mom married a child abuser so he constantly ran away from home, dropped out of high school, and devoted his life to drugs and alcohol but was part of a gang that robbed/killed a rival group of drug dealers. He took a plea deal and served 16 years of a 25-year prison sentence. I never would have known his backstory but things in his life just didn't add up so my curiosity kinda made him reveal his dark/evil past.
Can someone like that be trusted ever again? For example, suppose he and I had daughters that were best friends. Would you trust your child doing a sleepover at an ex-felon's house?

There's a reason why most employers don't hire felons. I wouldn't trust my daughter to sleep over at man's house who was sexually abused as a child either.

I really do believe in redemption and second chances. People do hit rock bottom and turn their life around. This guy sounds like he did just that. Plus his jolt in the Pen wasnt for sex crimes. I think he is now a good person and a pillar of the community. He is an example that you can start over and have a good life.
BUT!!!!!
If you have a daughter, she should be protected by you and not be put in even the slightest risk. Why take chances? It isnt worth the risk.

Trustworthy compared to who? Normies?
Say I had my kids over at your kids, would you be probing them to dig up some juicy dirt on me as well? Are you trustworthy? Or are you perhaps a Chatty Cathy, running around to your neighbours with the latest nugget of information you managed to dig up on your "friend", warning them about his "evil, sociopathic nature"?

Sorry -- my question failed to convey my primary fear.
What if the formerly-evil guy rapes and murders your daughter during the sleepover?
I have a daughter that lives in another state with her mom. I hate every time that her mom lets her go alone to visit friend's houses when she doesn't even take the time to meet the parents.
Am I the idiot here? Or should you trust your innocent/helpless daughter spend the night or time in a stranger's house owing only to the fact she has a daughter the same age as your daughter?
Where is the fucking logic that if someone has a daughter the same age -- that it makes the person automatically trustworthy???

Why exactly is the first place you went with this to "daughters sleepover"? This thing is absurd.
Is your daughter a rival xrug dealer? If so, no, I probably wouldn't risk it.

What the fuck...... NO.
Of course not.
Look, let's logic this out:
Maybe he is reformed. Maybe he isn't. Why would you take the risk? It just doesn't make sense.
The only time you trust people who are previously bad is when you have no other choice....... "I could take the hand of this reformed criminal, or I could drown...... worth the risk I guess".
People can change. But it's rare. Don't take stupid risks for no benefit.
