Children do NOT make this shit up. If a kid says that he or she received a bad touch from a family member or some other person (or hints at it to gauge what your reaction is), I will bet dollars to donuts that she is telling the truth and probably not nearly all of it. If a child complains that so-and-so committed a sex offense against that kid, believe her. Go to the police. DO NOT assume the mother will take care of it. I cannot tell you how many child rape cases I have prosecuted where the child disclosed to the mother, a minister or some other authority figure only to be ignored.


The list is a bit repetitive, but is accurate.
