i am so sad & angry

[desertpenguin]

i found out that a good friend of mine's 5 yo son was sexually abused at his school. my friend has taken her son out of the school and has tried to get the school officials to talk to her and her husband about it but they won't cooperate. one of the people at the school (the principal, i think?) took their older daughter out of her class and tried to get the daughter to reveal to her why her brother had been removed from the school, and implied that she would get in trouble or expelled if she didn't tell and implied that her brother might be missing or dead. i don't think they've been able to take their daughter out of the school yet but they will asap. their poor baby has been behaving in a sexual manner that is not normal for a 5 yo and feeling very guilty. they are doing their best to reassure him that he did nothing wrong, that he is a good person, that he is loved, that his body isn't dirty, etc. she is going to contact the authorities and try and get some legal action going i think. please send healing thoughts and prayers for this little boy and his family.

update

oK, so my friend had contacted the police, and an investigator came out and tried to interview their ds. their ds is shy and developmentally behind due to hearing problems that went undetected for some time, so the investigator couldn't get any info from their ds as to what might've happened. the mom took her ds to be physically examined, and found he had adhesions from someone forceably retracting their son's foreskin (the physician said it should heal fine on it's own) and he had a strange eczema rash in the groin area that didn't appear until after something started happening at the school. so they suspect it's related, espescially since it didn't appear anywhere else, but apparently it isn't a venereal disease. their ds has been doing much better since they took him out of the school, and he's pretty much back to his old self. the case was closed due to lack of evidence, although the investigators said that they know something must've happened, unfortunately no "hard evidence" to go on. my friend plans on getting their ds some counseling just to be on the safe side.

anyways, thanks everyone for your thoughts.

oh, desertpenguin that is so upsetting.. and now when you mention the part about his hearing issues makes it even more painful. i hope a little angel comes down and helps the family with support and wise opportunities to heal.

hugs to all.
