[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the PPs (or is it just one PP) that are so opposed to calling CPS, you seem really in denial that this could be abuse.  Is it because you're suppressing your own memories from childhood (as the abused or abuser) or because you've been in the position of these kids' parents that are turning a blind eye to abuse?  Either way, you're vehement denial/opposition suggests that you may be projecting at best or need therapy at worst.[/quote]

I think it COULD be. I think it’s probably not based on what OP has written but obviously there might be more to it. What I don’t understand is how some people seem so naive to what calling cps can set in motion for certain families. I think OP should be pretty damn sure something is up before definitely screwing up this child’s life. I think there is a greater chance that it’s nothing bad, and that OP ruins this family, and only a quite small chance that some real abuse is going on in which case the cps call may help or may STILL make things worse. As a PP said, she would have lied up and down to cps about the abuse she suffered so as to not be taken from her family. I think if OP really wants to help? She should talk to the mom about her concerns and she shud be offering to have that girl over for weeks at a time during school breaks. And then she will have more information and know if she should be calling cps or not.[/quote]

OP has witnessed real abuse. OP HAS WITNESSED IT.  It doesn't have to be full on rape to be abuse.  What do you think OP should do, put a hidden camera in these kids' rooms before she notifies someone who is trained to investigate this stuff?

OP has witnessed abuse.  Get it through your head that abuse is not just rape.  I can't believe this is even a question. [/quote]

OP has described a 13 year old picking up his sister and "holding her close to him" while in public- ok, that could literally be giving his 10 year old sister a bear hug.  She described that years ago, he held her down and kissed her in public.  That could have literally been an 8 year old wrestling his 5 year old sister and giving her kisses playfully.  OP has said he "touches her a lot in public as if she is his toy".  I'm not even sure what that means, if she means he is TOUCHING her, like sexually, then obviously that's a serious abuse issue.  If she means he pets her hair or pokes her arm to tease her- I mean, that's all "touching her like she's his toy".  What does it even mean?  We don't know because we haven't seen it.  And OP could be projecting her own issues into whatever she is witnessing, too, considering no one else including the parents seem to be alarmed.  To those of you saying "OP has witnessed abuse!" you don't even know what she has witnessed. [/quote]
