I had a friend whos daughter stayed at my house for 1½ month on vacation. This "child" is a few months short of her 18th birthday. My youngest daughter is 14, a few months short of her 15th birthday. Well, come to find out the oldest was "doing things" to my daughter that I do not care to mention but you can imagine. When I asked a social worker how to go about this situation and what is the procedure, she said: "That is child-on-child assault and we are not interested in that, we only investigate adult-on child molestation, if you report it then DSS will find you (ME??!!?) in neglect and we can sue you for custody of the child." Mind you, I was at WORK while this was happening!!! How am I neglectful for leaving a 14 year old and an 18 year old alone in a house because I have to work??? Then I mentioned that maybe I should go to the police, she said that the police will only report it back to DSS and it will be the same procedure. Anyone can help with this?? Thank you!!!
