My husband's 19 year old nephew, "Ted" was in juvie for about 5 years. He was let out about one year ago. Since Ted needed stability and good role models, his public guardian asked if he could come live in our home. My husband and I both agreed. Last night Ted confessed to me that the reason he was in juvie was because he molested someone (he would not tell me who) because his father forced him to. His father also molested him. Ted then claimed that he is all better and knows that he would never do it again. He said that his counselor asked him if he felt sexual arroused by his cousin. I thought he meant an older cousin, then I was told he meant my daughter who is 6! He swears the answer was no, but I am really worried! This boy needs someone to constantly remind him that he needs to shower, clean up, sleep in his bed, smoke outside, put his things away, etc. I don't have a release to talk to his case workers or anything, but I am wondering what would you do in this case?
