[quote=Anonymous]This is one of the PP social workers.  To the PPs who were victims of abuse, I am so deeply sorry to hear this.  I truly hope you have the support you need now, and that you know this was not your fault and you did not deserve this.  I am so sorry that there were no adults stopping this.  Please know you're not alone and you deserve to have love and support.

To those thinking the girl's life would be ruined by a CPS call:  the point of an investigation is to protect the child and to help the family.  If there is verbal or physical abuse and the alleged perpetrator is another child, in some cases the family stays together with intensive services, in some cases the victim moves out, in some cases a perpetrator moves out.  Yes, some kids go to foster care but many go to live with relatives.  There will be counseling for everyone involved.

Yes, life will never be the same, and yes, none of these solutions are perfect.  But as these stories from PPs who were abused show, this different life is not automatically worse than staying at home together.  In fact, there is usually lifelong, deep and lasting psychological trauma from living in an abusive situation.  And if indeed in this case there is some type of abuse, there will never be healing until the abuse is stopped.

To those asking for updates, of course we're wondering but I'm sure this is a very difficult situation for OP even though it's the right thing to do.  Be gentle and realize we may not get any updates. Think positive thoughts for a girl who may be in a very difficult situation. [/quote]
