How to help an abused girl?
My boyfriend of many years has a little half-sister, age 12. We've always gotten along brilliantly, as far as I care she might be my own sister, and she evidently trusts me, too.

Recently she told us (first me, then my boyfriend, in several instalments, it was obviously not easy for her but I'm shortening this story a lot) that she was raped at age 8. Repeatedly. By her (and BF's) father's wife's son. Who still lives in the same house.

All adults involved -the father, her mother, and the rapists' mother, know about this. They didn't believe her at first, but the perp, when they asked him, confessed. So they ordered both to never talk about it again. (The guy is nineteen, now).


Please, someone *actually* adult, tell me what to do about this.

She'll get over it, all hos do. Besides, it gives her a leg up (so to speak) in her sexually active teen years.
Is she hot by the way?
K!
Well, I am assuming the content is true. First, when did it happen? Recently then there will stil be evidence of it so go to the police and let them deal with it. ANYONE who is so sad as to rape an 8 year old girl deserves to be castrated.

There are actually quite a few options. 1) face the perp up and try to get him to realise what he has done to the girl. 2) having done that try to convince him to go to the police and admit to it. 3) if you don't want to be "in the middle" go to a third party, social worker, doctor, priest what ever and ask them to take it foreward. Teacher at her school?
The one thing you should NOT DO is sit on it because if he has done it once he will almost certainly do it again. If not with her with some other innocent girl OR BOY!!! If you want THAT on your conscience knowing that if you had reported it it might not have happened, just ignore it. BUT, I can tell you this. HE WILL ALMOST DEFINATELY DO IT AGAIN to some one.
That young lass is going to need some counceling. She will not get it if you don't act on the information you have. That will fu ck her head up for the rest of her life. Can you live with that???
The kid might have straighten out dont start trowing rocks at him, keep and eye out and all that but dont go and ruin his life just because you might feel on moral high-ground.

Yes it sucks, but unless you posses the ability to travel back in time (safety not guaranteed) theres not much you can do, lend your ear to her from time to time if she needs to but thats it.

hope she can get some semblance of peace from this matter.

So what? You are saying let him off he won't do it again? I DON'T THINK SO. That young girl will live with what he did to her for the rest of her life. She can deal with it given the right help but to get that help, he has to be named and shamed.
The days when this sort of crime can be "kept in the family" are gone. Society see's it for the crime it really is and rightly so to.
I have respect for you but on this occasion I have to tell you that you are SO WRONG.

Yes it is a tragedy im not saying otherwise, but you cant UNDO what happend, and most likly was already punished for that.

Funny you saying the days of "kept in the family" are long gone, well id like to think the days of "fanatics and bigots running around with pitchforks and torches howling for blood" are long gone too :p

As should be beating the crap of someone there intire life for one wrong doing (and yes it was WRONG, and one of the most awefull things that a person can commit)...im not here defending abusers of anysort nearly id soone jump out the window (mind you i live in a house so id probably just break something), all im saying is theres a time for beating the crap out of someone and a time to let them live the rest of theres lifes in (ever watchfull) peace.

Do you think you should be judged the rest of your life based on the worse decision you ever made? (even if it was just stealing a coockie)

HHHm I know someone like that. Regarding the person I know; no one believed her either. Not believing something like that and dismissing it is a strong betrayal of trust and a trauma on family relationship. She needs to talk about it and "clear her closet" You need to give more info regarding age of abuser during the abuse also it is important to know whether it was violent rape ex. hitting her, forcing her physically or a passive abuse. Either way it will fuck up her up mentally. She should go seek out a therapist and deal with this ASAP, cause when she gets older it can snowball. If I was conducting the the therapy, I would involve family members in later stages. Hope this helps
