I visited my councelor the other day and when I told him how I was concerned for my 5 yr. old daughter as this is the second time she complained that my H's girlfriend's stepfather keeps kissing her, putting her on his knee, and making her feel uncomfortable. My councelor said he had no choice but to report it to the police. Police was here yesterday with children's services to talk to both my children. They now want me to bring my D in for more questioning.

My H is very angry at me and making silly threats. I didnt know it would go this far but I just want to protect my D. He is more concerned about impressing the OW and family than protecting his D. My D had a huge bruise on her behind and she said she was trying to back up from this man from kissing her and she backed into a corner and hurt herself. My H was there, he didnt protect her. What really scared me was that my 7yr. son said it is true that this old man constantly tries to kiss my D against her wishes but doesnt even touch my son.

On top of this, my H confided in me that his girlfriend's teenage daughter lied that she was sexually assaulted by this same man. I wonder if she even lied, no one believed her.

It is so scary than when your H takes the kids and you have no way to protect them while they are in his care. I know God's hand is in this as I have been praying constantly. I also pray my marriage is restored. Please pray what ever leads your heart. Thankyou, MF

My heart goes out for you and the children. It just shows you how selfish your mate is. He puts his own life even before daughters. Tell him that stepfather is never to be around daughter again. If he can not or will not comply I hate to say it but take him to court for child endangerment. Please take a big hug from a stranger who hurts for you._stephanie

I am happy your counselor called the police. No one can take a risk with this. Is he a registered sex offender. I've heard you can check on line-something about Megan's Law. My heart goes out to you. How awful it must feel to not be able to be there to protect them. Sounds like you are doing your best. Where there is smoke, there is fire...I believe the older girl was molested. Maybe you could get her help to stop this man. Anyone know what to do? Maybe retired cop can help.

MovingForward:

I am sorry as well, for all you are going through. You have done the right thing, telling your counselor. The counselor truly did not have a choice. They are bound, by law, in reporting suspected child abuse.

Don't worry about your H's anger. At this point in time, YOUR job is to protect your d more than respect and obey your H. He REMOVED himself from that role.

Stand FIRM, and God will remove your enemies from in front of you. You ARE doing the right thing! I'll be praying for this situation, and your precious children. You are teaching them, through your example, that they MUST do what is right, regardless of the opposition.

Love & Hugzzzz

Thankyou all for your prayers, love, and concern. The second time I found out that this man wouldnt leave my D alone was when I was praying with my D at night and asked her what to pray for and she asked,"Can you pray that God keep that old man away from me?" I was shocked. Well, God sure is answering a little child's prayer. I believe it and am confident that everything will turn out well. On Monday, the child services will call me to bring my D in to be examined by specialists. EVERYONE says I did the right thing. I will also check out if this man has ever had any past record of child abuse.
At least in the end my D will know I was there to protect her. My H said to the police that he didnt want this old man interviewed because he didnt want to lose a friendship with him. The police said that the welfare of the child should be more important than your friendship. He really stuck his foot in his mouth.
Thankyou again, God bless, Kim..
