[QUOTE="confusedmom, post: 676662, member: 19947"] Hi Somewhere, Yes, my son was removed immediately the day we found out what happened. I will never allow him back in our home again nor anywhere near my daughter. He is my biological child, and through the course of his current intensive therapy, we haven't found any history of abuse. He did say that someone in his past introduced him to pornography at a very young age and his therapist thinks that the grooming behavior that was presented to him could very well be the beginning cause of his behavior. We do believe after speaking with the investigator that there will be charges brought against him in the near future, but we do not know to what extent. I think that our decision to seek treatment was our hope to protect him. I mean, you love your child, and you want the best for them. I am by no means defending his actions. There is no excuse for what he did. Ever. Again, my son never presented as a problem child. Never. No behavior problems at school, a straight A student. Active in after school activities, in the advanced classes so that he could graduate high school with not only a diploma, but an associates degree as well. When we discovered what happened, we just thought he had made a huge mistake. The long term abuse we have discovered has only been recent and in the course of therapy. My daughter is doing amazing. Because of her autism, she has no moral compass as to right and wrong. So for her, what happened was no different than brushing her teeth in the morning. It was just something that happened. But to answer your question, yes. She is involved with two therapists, one that deals specifically with childhood trauma in exceptional needs children and another that deals with coping skills through equine therapy. Her care and her needs are and will always by my first priority in this situation. She is progressing wonderfully and both therapists agree that she does not show any signs of emotional trauma nor do they feel as though the trauma that was afflicted on her will affect her future happiness. Honestly, I feel as though her autism is the best blessing we could have ever been given. Especially considering the circumstances and the suffering she would endure had she been a "normal" child.
