Secrets
Quote From: mrsparkerIf I suspected some one had molested my child I would get help for them ASAP. I will never understand why people don't get help dealing with this. I baby sat for a little boy I knew had been molested after only watching him for one day. I asked his mom what had happened and what she was doing about it. She told me that he had been molested by a friend of the familys husband. But she said she was not going to press charges or get the child counciling, this was to much for me. I stopped watching him because I knew he was hurting and could really do little for him. You had to put him it the shower and use the wand to wash him as he would scream if you touched him to even clean off the BM. I hope that he will seek help for himself. I meet every person that lives in a home that my daughters are going to stay at. I have told my daughters that no one touches their body unless they want them to. I felt like I had to tell my daughters what can happen so they know and would not be scared to talk to me as we already broken the ice on the subject. Not telling your child what is right and wrong leaves them scared to tell and ashamed of what others have done to them. Talking to your child can save their life. Sorry about the spelling I never could spell. I love spell check. I believe that most people think tthat the problem will just go away as long as they watch their children closer. Especially if the child was molested by a family member. In alot of cases the parent was also molested by someone and it has always been a secret. They think that they have handled it and so will the child.
As this case shows, it has not gone away and the boy is now perpetuating the problem. His parents should have done something when he was four instead of waiting until now.
Why did you not do something to help the child you babysat for? Instead of abandoning him like every one else?
