[quote=Anonymous]First, you did the right thing by acting quickly!  Your granddaughter confided in you and you upheld the trust by moving quickly to address it.  Know that you did the right thing.  Keep following up with the police and CPS.  The people at CPS can help your granddaughter and you.

If you need another person to talk this through with, you can call the Boys Town National Hotline at 1-800-448-3000.  They have Boys Town trained counselors answering each call.  They may be able to offer you some suggestions on how to help your granddaughter deal with the trauma, be able to offer some suggestions for counseling, and may even be able to give you some advice for resources (like a lawyer or child advocate).

Your primary goal should be to make contact with CPS.  But the people at the Boys Town National Hotline will be able to give you some moral support and resources, and even some suggestions about next steps.

Hugs to you and your granddaughter.  Your next few days will be difficult as you figure out what to do and how to do it.  Best wishes.  Keep doing what you're doing to stand up for your granddaughter and keep her safe![/quote]
