I am new to this forum but very desperate for help...Ten days ago, we found out that our daughter who is 15 years old has been sexually molesting our next door neighbor who is 8. In the process of finding this out, we found out that there are at least two other younger girls, and about four peers (that she has admitted to) that she has done this with over the years. We reported to child protective services as did a therapist. We got her into a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but they don't think insurance will cover for more than four to eight weeks. At this point, she has molested the neighbor girls on either side and across the street. We adopted her eight years ago internationally. We have no specific information about the first seven years of her life but every professional that has worked with us has strongly suspected significant trauma. She has almost no memories. She is not violent or aggressive (which is part of the reason that insurance probably will not cover much) towards people, only destructive of property. As far as we know the police have not been called. Our next door neighbors were good friends. They now have their house on the market. They don't want to press charges. We don't know what to do. We don't have the money to pay out of pocket for treatment.
We understand that if she lives at home, we'd have to monitor her 24/7. She lies a great deal so we don't know what is true but have confirmation of two of these incidents. She was definitely the one who initiated. She doesn't have any remorse. Her perspective is the activities were "games." She knew that she wasn't allowed to play these "games" but doesn't see the harm.
Any advice where to start looking for resources? What to do?
