On friday my 3year old little girl came out and told me that my 8 year old son had kissed her private area and touched her, also he had put his penis in her face..
My firt reaction was total shock, I contacted an abuse helpline and they advised that I contact Social Services..
After speaking to Social Services of Friday, they told me not to mention this to my son, carry on as 'normal' until he has been spoken to by a profesional and to keep the children apart at night and not leave them unsupervised..
Fortunatly my sister looked after my son over the weekend to remove him from the house..I feel so sad, and so worried as to what will happen next..
Knowbody returned my call on Monday morning, and after several calls to social services I was promised a call today..I recieved a call today and was told to expect a call tomorrow..I think this is terrible that they can leave a family, trying to get help, trying to do what is 'right' and handle this in the best possible way for EVERYONE..
Against their advice I spoke with my son last night, there was alot of tears, alot of half truths, but with my sisters help he has admited that this happened..he has sworn that it was only this one occation and that it will never happen again..I really want him to get some profesional help, I am finding it so hard to even look/talk to him, but he is ONLY 8, and he is still my little boy..
He has no access to the internet and we do not have sky TV/adult videos..I am a single parent family, there are no men that he is left alone with...He has not got friends houses that he goes to, he is not the best at mixing with children his own age..Although he is very intellegent, loving and kind, I would have never have thought he would do this to the little sister he adores..
Obviously they can no longer share a room or be left alone together, and this breaks my heart..I am completely lost, and am finding this all such a struggle..
Has anyone been through something similar? I understand from the research Ive done on the internet that it is quite common..but he is ONLY 8! not 12/13/14..
