Spectrum adults coping with childhood trauma caused by others

Ah, the wonders of the internet. When I was 11 years old a small group of kids led by one especially prominent thug attacked me and another kid. It was especially bad - they knocked us off our bicycles in mid motion. Talk about road rash. In any case, after elementary both me and the thug moved and I never saw him again. Again, the wonders of the internet.

Out of (morbid?) curiosity I managed to find the thug. It is probably no surprise he did not end up in a lucrative STEM field. He ended up a low to mid skilled blue collar worker with a very sketchy work record. Speaking of records there is also a criminal record, a divorce record, a family violence record and offspring in the criminal justice system (one's in prison for murder). Since I found all this without paying one cent (e.g. it was all public domain - mostly from news stories, etc), we are talking one bad dude here. Karma or something.
