As I write this I am furious!! I just found out that my youngest daughter was touched inappropriately by her best friends grandfather! What @^%#!! I am so sick of this. We have guarded in every way possible. We cut out of our life all the people who partied and did drugs started to church and never left our children with hardly anyone. This man goes to our church is a buisnesman in our community and seemed absolutely wonderful. He cares for his grand children because his son is practically a vegetable. Can we trust NO ONE? I am devastated, I dont know how we could have been more careful? He was always so good to my daughter. Not only that but he gave the girls alcohol and perhaps drugs!! She said he would always give them pixie stickss then they would get sleepy. I just do not know what to do anymore. I wonder is ther any female on here who has not been abused or know someone who has? This feels like an epidemic to me.

YEs I would be furious too especially a guy that goes to church and uses the church as his venue for his perverted activities. He should be in jail since his destroying life of young girls. He should be put away. People like that are a menace to society. As parents we should be vigilant, we know there are a lot of perverts around, even relatives can do harm to our kids so it best to really keep an eye on them, though I know its jsut impossible especially when our girls are growing up. We just have to keep reminding them of the reality that not all man has good heart and some will take advantage of every opportunity. We have to teach them self defense if they need to use it. And not be a victim of perverts in society.

That is sad, but it also is a reminder to be careful of anyone. The most likely suspect in one who does not look the part. It doesn't matter if they go to your church, always teach your children the safety. I hope you filed a police report. That would be the first thing I would do if that ever happenend to any one of my children. As a parent you are supposed to protect them, and things like this make you feel so helpless because you don't know what to do. Just hope for the best and teach them the proper things to do if ever faced in that situation again. Hopefully there is no serious damage done to her psychologically. I remember in elementary school there was a flasher going around our neighborhood. My friend took the public bus home and she and her sister witnessed it. So I decided to be a good friend and wait with her at the bus stop every day after school since it was right outside my apartment building. the man that my friend had seen came into the area we were waiting and went into an area where the residence park their bikes and started playing with himself. i don't remember anything visually, but i do remember the feelings. we ran and got a janitor who was in the area. by the time we got back he was gone. my uncle at the time was a detective in another city and my mother called him and made me give a description. i don't know if he was caught or not. That instance was minor, but as a child, it did affect me in a way. It showed me that there are people like that out there and to be more cautious about my surroundings. The best thing for us to do is to put these people behind bars. Show them that we won't tolerate this and make a stand. there will always be some type of pervert out there. we just have to keep our eyes open.

NO! You can't just trust anyone at all anymore. Even those that you trust, you have to always keep your eyes open because you just never know. It sounds as if as a parent you did all you could. You also can't go around suspecting everyone either. ONe of my girls was molested when she was 4 by a person that I trusted. I know your rage. It was reported and taken to court and both her and I got councelling. Because she was so young and it was an isolated incident, it did not really affect her long term. It was horrible at the time tho and my rage took so long to get over. Reading your post made me just want to punch walls and throw things!! How old is your daughter? Oh I think these people need to all be thrown on an island some where and away...far away from society! How old is your daughter? I am so so sorry this has happened to your family.

I wish I was you because I would have went CRAZY on his old a**.That shows that you can't trust anyone.What has this world come to?I hope you have gotten her some kind of help.Let that I will pray for her to get over this.I was abused when I was younger by a old bf Of my mom.He was always good to me now those are the kind you have to look out for.I know that if he touched your child in that way imagine what he must be doing to his own grandchildren.Your child was not his first i bet it was others before her that never told anyone.He will have to answer to God one day.A lot of men are sick like that why I do not know.Why do they have to hurt innocent children?They have a place for people like that JAIL and they should be kept there so they can stop hurting OUR CHILDREN.

I feel the same way you do. I have two daughters and I am very strict and will let them go nowhere. It seems everyone thinks Im weird but I know better. I don't want them to be secluded but this world in crazy. When I was litle, I remember being fondled at a bes freiends house by her brothers and I will not allow my girls to spend the night over anyones house unless I go too! They can have others over if they want. I feel bad but thats the way its gonna be until I'm sure my girls are strong enuff to talk to me and not keep things to themselves. I just want them to be able to speak up for themselves.

Wow. I am sorry to hear that this happened to your daughter. It is sad to say but you really can't trust anyone now a days. You never know who is out there waiting to hurt you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear this and understand you anger and frustration. I also feel that there is no female on this earth who has not been abused someway or the other…some by touch and some by looks. Your daughter must be pretty devastated herself and it is very important that she is not made to feel as if she invited the gestures herself. You know, the way women are blamed for every injustice perpetrated on them. Don’t really know what to write, only remembering my own childhood and adolescent years and knowing how much I was abused by leering eyes, if not actually touched.

I am sorry to hear about that. I agree with you that this world has turned to something we could not even imagine - not in our wildest dreams too. I just got a news too, about an officemate whose sister was raped in her work! This news is really devastating. My friend and i here are talking about it earlier too, cause we were able to watch in a local tv show about a family where their father raped her 2 daughters the older was only 14 and the younger was about 4 yo. How could a father even do that to his own daugthers?!!!

Are you pressing charges? I certainly hope so! He's also molesting his own grandchildren? My former neighbor who I'd known since I was a little kid (he's five years older than me) was arrested for several hundreds counts of molestation and child rape several months ago and he was also a respected member of the community. You just never know who you can trust and it's very frightening! I sure hope your daughter is OK. Annie

Om my gosh - how awful. Have you called the police? You should call the police asap and report it to help stop him doing it to other children. I hope your daughter is ok.

If I were you I will giving him a good thrashing before I hand him over to the police. What he has done is really unforgivable and especially when your daughter is so young. I just feel for you. Don't hesitate go to the police.

Oh Please tell em that you are having him arrested... I would say more but I would probably get into trouble with the powers that be here. My sister and I were talking about that the other day, and we both agreed it is not so much about it being an epidemic as it is kids are more comfortable with telling someone about it, then they did when my sister and I went through that kind of abuse as kids... I know I am not a female, but I felt I needed to say something... I hope you nail him...

omg i am so sorry to hear your family has been violated in such a way!! its terrifying to think that your neighbor might be a child molester...or heaven forbid a family member, trusted friend..they are everywhere! someone above mentioned "they dont have a tattoo on their forehead" but THEY SHOULD! hell if they have been convicted it should be blazoned across their forehead, that way children know to just turn and run! course im sure that will never be allowed... report it! to the police to your church, so no one elses children fall into his hands! for that matter i dont know if the police will do it (i imagine they will,but to be sure) report it to child protection too! make sure his own grandchildren arent being molested!

Hi shewolf52002, This is really a devastating news. I can't believe that the people that you chose to trust doesn't deserve it. Did you do anything about this when you knew about it? Anyway, I am one of the lucky ones who never experienced anything like this. Even my sisters did not experience this. I just don't understand why some people would take advantage of little kids, both boys and girls. This is not right, this should be stopped. These kinds of people should be reprimanded.

First, I think you should not let your daughter associate with this character anymore. Find out more from your daughter's friends and those that had come in contact with him to see if they have the same plight. Kids seldom lie and if 2 or more can relate as what your daughter has told you, then you will need to report him to the church and authorities. You may need to do with the latter as your daughter might have been traumatised by this and she may need some counselling here. And the authorities might take the relavant steps to arrest him without alarming the masses since minors are involved. I hope you will not pull back and if he is guilty then all the more he needs to be stopped. Whether he is a sick individual or not it is still a debasing act and crime to do such a thing. Please take care and consider what I have said here.

Hi there, I think that is really so sick for someone with such a supposedly senior age and should be a respectable one at that to be doing something as degrading as that. Why was he so despicable as to do such things. Have you reported this act to the authorities? Are there any proof from your daughter's side so that you could nab this inconsiderate and unscrupulous man? I am a guy and I am really disgusted to know that another man could so much as inflict such things on a child! So, how's the situation now? Do not let your daughter near this man again. I think you should tell the whole community to at least make them aware of his act and to make him ashamed of his bad deeds. It is not a small deed and definitely could lead to more worst things if let him be. Do take care, shewolf..

Oh you must be furious, and noone would expect you to feel any differently. I think rather than being an epiodemic has been happening for years, i think it was less spoken of in the past and children and parents are now learning that speaking out is protecting others and making them held accountable for their actions. I do think it disgusting and there should be something else done, i just dont know what unfortunatly.

Your first mistake was thinking god saves people from perverts. If you didn't report this too the cops you are as much as fault as he is. We tell kids to speak up and not ignore it but most adults aren't willing to listen when they do. There aren't anymore perverts now than there used to, we just teach people to be more aware of them and are willing to talk about them even if no one is willing to get involved and do a damned thing about it.

I have never believed that God saves people from being a pervert. We have reported it via the hospital she is going to. We always listen to our children as well. Thing is the powers that be do not always listen. I know of a situation where an abuse allegation was found to be true, a young man was molested by an older man, I held the report in my own to hands! And then I have had to see the perpetrator everyday in my home town. How was that right? He spent NO TIME in jail at all! It doesnt always do any good to reprt it. But we did.
