[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP who said "Define grope" for us who you're asking advice of. Also was it the same kid who did it the 2nd time?

For starters, any info she hasn't shared yet she needs to share with you. So if you don't know details of the "groping", tell her you are worried it will continue if she doesn't tell you more.  Maybe also explain to her that her trust in you is so important to you... AND you have a job as her parent to protect her. That you have to be able to do that or you're worried she'll feel worse and worse.  See how that goes.

I also wonder if whoever groped her told her that if she tells on them, they'll do it more and tell the whole school or tell everyone lies about her.  If she's anxious and quiet already, abusers (both child and adult abusers) are often good at sniffing out who will not fight back or stand up for themselves.  So maybe also tell her that even if whoever did it threatened her, they are relying on her silence to keep doing it to her and others.  That the only way to interrupt it is to address it, even though that also can be stressful.[/quote]
