1) Move
2) Seek help for your daughter (child therapist who specializes in sexual abuse, or a rape crisis center)
3) Support her as long as she needs you during this critical time
Suerte!
* It really doesn't matter if the community is on your side or not, all that matters is that you are on your daughter's side. When he perpetrates again (and he will) they'll all realize that you were telling the truth.

It's because of cases like these that I get frustrated with the Criminal Justice system. I'm sorry for your Daughters plight, no child should have to endure such pain and suffering. If i were you, I'd get the best lawyer i could afford and start Civil proceedings, then I would start speaking out LOUDLY. Call the newspapers and magazines and tell them all about the prosecutor who "dropped the ball". That is the biggest complaint of most Police Officers, Prosecutors that will not do their job even in "Slam Dunk" cases. It's high time that these people (judges and prosecutors) were held liable for their actions and in-actions. I find it crazy that high school graduate Police Officers are able to be sued as individuals for messing up while on duty, but Judges and Lawyers who have post-graduate degrees from Harvard or Yale are above being held accountable for their actions. It's just not right and it should not stand. Then again, maybe it's just best to take your daughters feeling into consideration, move from that horrible place and start fresh somewhere else. Only you can make the best choice. Good luck to you both and God Bless.

Hi,
First let me say how sorry i am that your daughter and your family have had to not only be subjected to this awful experience but also the fact that "the system failed you"
I am a serving police officer with the Metropolitan police, and it makes me sick to think that the person if i can call him that will go unpunished for what he has done.
I am not surprised that the CPS said that there is not enough evidence to charge him, gone are the days of believing the victims account of events. Hey they don't even believe police officers statements so what hope do you have.
I would take it further and contact your local MP, also speak to the police again to see if anything else can be done.
I wish you and your family good luck and hope that time can ease the pain your daughter must e suffering.

This is typical I'm afraid. British "justice".
My Fiance's 14 year old sister was abused in the same way by a boy at school and neither the police nor the school did a damned thing about it!! The school even made her take classes with this boy! She started bunking school because she was so scared.
The police said the boy and his family were "well known" to them but nothing could be done because of the age of the respective parties.
I would contact your MP about this.
Both the boy who attacked your daughter and the boy who attacked my little SIL WILL do this again. I only hope they will get what is coming to them.

I am so so very sorry this happened to your daughter or anyone- but unfortunately my solution is neither ethical nor legal- therefore i cannot suggest it. seek out a lawyer that will take the case- there MUST be someone who is willing to fight for justice- take it to your community- there is NO reason YOU should be the one to move and change your life. HE did this, make him uncomfortable. Let the community know what he has done. At the same time, focus on your daughter. She may not want to make this any worse- therapy I'm sure will be a great help. Make her feel secure in your house. Let her know it is in NO way her fault and that she is loved and safe. Again, I am deeply sorry your daughter was exposed to such darkness by not only the boy but the community and HIS parents. Please let her know that there are good people in this world, those that dont even know her, love and care for her well being. :)

There is an organisation called MOSAC which is for the non abusing carers and parents of abused children. They are at www.mosac.org.uk and have a helpline number 0800 980 1958.
Have you tried Victim Support?
His living so close must be terrifying to her and your family, and the fear is this will not be his last offence. If you live in council or rented accommodation, have you considered moving?
My heart goes out to you and your daughter.

That is so so awful. I am so sorry to hear this. Why don't you go to the press? Then the relevant justice bodies will be named and shamed and hopefully this will galvanise them into action. Sometimes protection processes go wrong, but that doesn't mean you and your little girl have to be victims. Get up and shout about it until someone takes notice. All you have to do is Google all the national news paper names and start making some phone calls.
Good luck and best wishes XXX

You have every right to press charges and see that sick bastard put in jail. Go to the police and file reports, go to the press and make a story, write a letter to the editor of your local papers, harass the D.A's office with calls, day and night. Get a restraining order on the boy, and have his mom arrested for slander.
Fight this hard, and may God be with you and your baby.

1)Look for a job in another area,and don't stop until you find one!(It will probably take time to find one,but in the future when you look back on it,your daughter will be glad you did that.)
2)Join a charity that supports families with young victims,if there isn't one,start one!
3)Make sure you get her in a self-defence class.She will probably never need it,but it will give her the underlying thought that "right,I've got my self-defence skills,so this will definitely never happen again."
