I put my cousin (21) in jail for indecent assult on my 4 year old daughter. I have lost all my family members because of this. I will not go into detail about what happened for safety reasons. But he hurt her really bad. Now my family will not speak to me. I know I did what was right for my daughter. But why doesn't the family see ti that way?

YOU did the RIGHT thing by demanding he be prosecuted and making sure that you testified to get him sent to prison for what he did.
Right now .. this "dirty business" has hurt EVERY member of your family ... and not just you/your daughter. They may be in such SHOCK that this happens that they can't figure out how to approach you or even begin to discuss what happened.
IF it is that they are angry with you for reporting him .. well, then let them go .. they never will understand the horror of having a child harmed by someone that you trusted (at the time).

Your family is disfunctional,just accept the fact, if it took this to open you eyes then maybe something good can come out of it.I have been where you are right now ,my family did the same thing to me.Sometimes when family act this way ,and just want to sweep all the dirt under the rug,then you have a family that does notTHINK right,therefore they are disfunctional..I would not only put him in jail but i would file charges on him and he should have to serve time...You are right for putting him in jail,your family is wrong. You just stick by your decision and if your family cannot think straight ,someday they may come around,if not you havent lost a lot.They are not supportive..If you have to put up with a 21 year old molesting and exposng himself to your 4 year old,its not worth having that family.I know this hurts because I was hurt until I finally realized my family was so disfunctional...Ask any theripst and they will tell you the same thing.

You are very right for sending him jail. My own family has been through assult and jail dramas. In the end everyone is a little hurt, but you have to do what's right, and protect you own. That is you family, but at the same time family doesn't hurt one another in that way. Hopefully you family will see that. I hope that things get better. God bless.

Good for you for doing what was right. I'm sorry your family members are making you pay for protecting your daughter. I don't know why your family doesn't understand. There is nothing you can do about it. You can hold your head high knowing you did the right thing and let your family figure it out for themselves.

You did the right thing! If your family does not see it that way there is something really wrong with them. Good luck to you and your daughter.

YES you did do the right thing. If your family cannot deal with your decision then TOO BAD!!! They'll get over it. Hope you and your daughter feel better soon. Hang in there!

You did the right thing for your daughter, but I know how difficult it can be to lose your family's support(and their love). Just remember that you did what was most important.

If I were you I would end it with my family. What a mess! You have your priorities right - they defiantly don"t.
