[QUOTE="Star*, post: 112311, member: 4964"] When a psychiatrist or psychologist reports this to DSS - it can take a while - if ever - BUT YOU and your wife can GO TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT and MAKE A STATEMENT with your children. They have police that deal with this sort of thing and they will know how to handle it. - If your wife is frustrated now about how to find a place that will take her insurance - how in the world does she think the kids feel? And they still get to see bio dad? Something isn't right here. As their step-father I would want to know RIGHT NOW - before there was a single breath of his air their way what the blue hades is going on. Why or HOW does he still get any ANY ANY visitation with them if he molested them? If the girls ARE NOT fabricating this - WHY IN THE HECK does he get to even be with them at all? And if they ARE fabricating it? Then they need to be in therapy yesterday!! Here is the number for the National Child abuse hot line.It's the biggest ad in the front of almost EVERY phone book in every city. 1-800-4-A-CHILD. Call them and tell them where you live and ask THEM what resources, recourses can be taken. Also if your wife is dragging her feet about this - she may be in denial (understandable) but that would mean you all should be in some type of family therapy. I know - I've been there - and we all went, 2x a week. Nothing embarrassing about it - they are children. They deserve to be PROTECTED - not subjected to him over and over with or without supervision - he can still manipulate them. Also FYI - Mental health is available to EVERYONE at a sliding scale fee - EVEN IF you have insurance. For sexual abuse victims I would be on the phone all day with local agencies finding out who can see them for nothing - I wouldn't wait on someone from the insurance company to call me back with an "okay" they don't care. I realize you may feel your hands are tied - and one daughter is 19 I think you said - but you can encourage her to seek help. I'm really sorry any of you have to go through this -but I'm glad you found us. Good luck Star [/QUOTE]
