OP the point of calling CPS is to have someone trained investigate. Trying to turn yourself into an amateur social worker to decide whether a call should be made is counterproductive. Social workers on this thread have already told you to call. Call. |
This. I hate when people turn their head when they see huge red flags of child abuse. People like that are despicable. I hope no one turns their head when their kid needs help. Shit. |
“Inappropriate kissing and touching” was never normal sibling affection, and you know it. You’re either an enabler or a troll. |
I called her a troll a few pages back when her story changed and got jumped on. It's a perverted troll. Don't worry about the fictional girl. |
+1,000 - Maybe business is slow. |
| OP have you seen them fight? If so what's was it like? |

Mom needs to be “alerted”? What?
That’s not how reporting works. If you were a mandated reporter you could be charged with a crime. |
If she witnessed something or was told something that was a crime, yes. So far she has witnessed some affection from a brother to a sister, and some physical playfulness, that she thinks might be inappropriate but she isnt' sure. If a teacher saw a brother hug or pick up his sister, and the sister didn't show any signs that she was being abused (acting out, being sexual with other kids, poor grades, poor hygiene, weight gain/weight loss, anger, etc), then what exactly do you think that teacher should be reporting? If the girl told the teacher she was being abused, then you're right. |

OP, sounds like you're totally circling the issue while trying to avoid dealing with it. Too bad. You realize if you were describing your own kids (good Lord, is that possibly what is going on???) someone would have already made a CPS report?
Or maybe you're working on your novel. |
Jesus, it will eventually become sexual, who does not get that? I had an older brother who tended to be mean--physically. This was not sexual. Then puberty came for him, then for me, and instead of him just hitting or whatever he was forcing my clothes off. |
Novel it is, right op? |

I was raped and sexually molested by my older brother starting at age 4( that I remember). This went on untill I was 13 and he started dating. My parents did nothing. Absolutely nothing. They walked in and choose to see playing/rough housing.
It started by making me his pet. He baby-sat me, had a hand in naming me, and ALWAYS called the shots. He would convince me to give him my dinner ( there was plenty if he was actually hungry for seconds). He would punish me if I didn't "play" in his room every night after dinner.... It escalated from holding and touching to grinding and piv. This set the foundation of being raped by another rapist for 10 years. I am 32 and still trying to get my life together. It's a miracle I haven't off'd myself. Get this kid help. Please OP. I'll make the call for you, if you prefer to stay out of it or anonymous. |
This makes me so sad to read. I'm sorry about what happened to you. |
I am so sorry to read this. How horrible that your parents did nothing to protect you. |
| Op should hide her head in shame. |
