[quote=Anonymous]I was groped by a passing man when I was a young teen walking down the street w my family but no one saw it and I didn’t tell anyone. Looking back at it I wish I would’ve done something but it took me by surprise and I was thrown off plus embarrassed to tell my parents or make a scene. There is no clearly effective way to handle a difficult situation like that. I think your DD absolutely did the right thing in a) getting away from those boys and b) telling her dad about it right away. I don’t know what your DH “should” have done but if it were my husband and my daughter it probably would’ve played out the same way it did w your DH and DD. My husband is very non confrontational and very much wants to listen and respect our kids’ wishes. If it were me though I don’t know that I could keep myself from confronting the boys. Maybe that makes my husband (and your DH) the parent our daughters would rather turn to though since they know they can trust them to follow their wishes. I can see how if your DH had confronted the boys your daughter would have been embarrassed and angry and potentially lost trust in him.

This is a really tough situation. I hope you can work w your daughter on strategies she can use to protect herself and stand up for herself. But also let her know that she can always trust you and talk to you about anything and that this was not her fault at all and she did nothing wrong in this situation.[/quote]
