It's all hearsay so I really don't know any details what happened. The thing is I used to be good friends with this kid's dad when he was going out with someone I know. The sad thing his dad doesn't believe him. The boy is under 12 So is his cousin, another boy that is saying that he has been molested by the same guy.
It really makes me mad when a parent doesn't believe their child when something like this happen especially at a young age. I think 1 reason he may not believe his son is because the dad living with him because he can't afford to live on his own right now so hes getting pretty much free rent
The guy that did it is a relative and is already on the sex offender list for a previous offense years ago.
To be honest this is not as uncommon as you think. Most of the time sex crimes are not reported for this very reason.
You should report it to CPS immediately. In fact, in some jurisdictions it's a crime if you have reason to believe abuse has occurred and you don't report it.
Also, you should call the county probation office and report that the registered sex offender has kids living with him.
It's simple. Ask the children you've been told have been molested if they've been molested and if they confirm what you've been told then report it.
Then let the relevant authorities get to the truth of the matter.
Do not let them stay in danger of being molested further because their parent/whoever doesn't believe them. If they are under 12 it is highly unlikely they are making it up. You have a moral responsibility to do your utmost to prevent this from happening to them again, if you can.
Yeah well there are large groups of people from orange county who might disagree with you on that one.
Report it immediately! I am sorry that this happen to these children but if you know that this man is a registered sex offender then it is your duty to report it. It would be a great disservice to these children to continue through their lives at the hands of a monster. If something was to happen to these children that you have known, I am pretty sure you would feel a great deal of guilt after. I could not live with myself knowing that a friend's child (whether or not I was involved in their lives) was being molested and I could have done something to stop it.
I said it's highly unlikely, not impossible. These two kids do not deserve to be judged on the backs of that case.
Eh i think more likely then you think...kids create fantasies in their head...and can be manipulated by adults. This is why professionals need to talk to the children and find out what is going on.
Yeah well there are large groups of people from orange county who might disagree with you on that one.
Paganmamma, please be responsible with your comments in this thread.
This thread is about a particular situation the OP shared, not general debate about child molestation.
I'm sure you don't want to discourage the OP from reporting this, but your natural tendancy to debate anything could result in just that.

You're right that's possible.
