what do you do if you know 100% that there is a priest that is molesting a child. I've found out that my younger cousin has been molested by their family priest. What do you do?!?!
I'm angry and scared. hurt for my cousin (who is 7) Do I, or I guess her family, confront him? Tell the police? What do Ido?!?

GO TO THE POLICE! Go NOW!! Take your cousin to the police NOW!
The b****** needs to be put in prison. Do NOT let the parish handle it - you see how it's been handled in the past.

Call the Department of Social Services. It's in the phone book under "local government". It may be called Child Protective Services. If all else fails, call the police (not a 911 call, look up the number in the front of your phone book).

her family needs to know ASAP
I know how hard it is for a molested child to speak up about this..and as the years go by..it would be harder..
so please help her out...youre older so do what is right..tell her family...and then make a decision...her family should inform the authorities.
This is a bad subject...and its deeply disturbing but its gotta be done.
Speak up against the evil..and dont let that man get the chance to do it again.

Tell anyone that will listen, call the police, call the bishop. Tell the parents!

This is something that is not to be taken lightly, either way!
If it is true, notify the authorities immediately! But make sure you have all your "ducks" in a row!

You call that child's parents so they will not leave her with him again, then you contact the police. Please do not wait. Do this RIGHT NOW!
