Need Advice on a Family Situation (Warning...Long) - Page 3

I hope this situation is resolved soon!

She needs to know. She will find out from someone, someday, and she will be devastated and angry when she realizes her family knew, her aunt knew and didn't tell her. Do the right thing, Mama. This is child abuse!

Thanks for all of your concern and replies. I did talk to her and she is in the process of getting my great-niece enrolled in daycare. She said she pretty much suspected a lot of it all along, but she didn't want to believe it because she felt helpless to find a better situation. Needless to say, she has major guilt issues, but she isn't angry at the family, she said she totally understands why we weren't sure what to do. I am just so glad that things are going to improve for this little girl now and so relieved that the situation hasn't damaged my relationship with my niece.
