[quote=Anonymous]By the way, I don't believe for a second that the aunt/mom of cousin didn't know if the abuse occurred to the victim between 2-10 yrs old.  No WAY the mother/aunt didn't know or suspect.  Not making excuses for her but she most likely either was in denial or has her own trauma issues and normalized it.  But the idea that she may not have known at all is HIGHLY unusual.  Sometimes victims need to believe the other parent didn't have any idea, because it's the only way for them to keep their sanity.  After all, how awful to realize that one parent abused you and the other parent knew and didn't stop it....  But it's highly rare for abuse to be in the home for that long, and the other parent has no idea.

So sorry for the victim in this case, and sorry for all other victims that may be out there.  Hope someone does something to interrupt the uncles opportunities to abuse at least, and maybe to get CPS and/or law enforcement to hold him accountable at best.  Awful situation.[/quote]
