That does not sound right. How can a forensics lab be backed up for 2 yrs? Is someone giving you the brush off? Maybe your family doc can order the testing to be processed, or an ER doc.

The first thing I would do is talk directly with the District Attorney's office. They are in the position to put pressure on the police to gather further evidence and also to check and be sure that the labratory testing is completed in a timely manner. There is a such thing as a "Right to Speedy Trial" I would ask if that only applies to perps or also to victims.
In my city there is a child advocacy center that works with state child protective services and law enforcement offices to interview, give advise, and represent children in sexual abuse cases.
I personally know of cases that have investigated and "resolved" in under one year. Thanks to the great work of the professional offices mentioned working as a team.
DO NOT accept one persons response! There are teams and national agencies to protect child victims of abuse. I encourage you to contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children if you get no results from local agencies.

Yeah...you're looking at court lag. A few things you can do in the meantime.
See if you can get a judge to issue a restraining order against the offender.
Interview your child with a counselor. Make sure you tape or video record this conversation. Make a couple of copies. Either mail these copies to yourself, or have them sealed by a notary. This could help you when this whole thing goes to trial.
Good luck.

basically because of the fact Dad became molested would not advise he will grow to be a molester. is this a custody conflict? sounds like sis could be attempting to set issues up. If sis has called cps and the police and that they do no longer something then possibly she ought to get rid of the bf so the babies will decide to stay together with her. Have the babies considered a Dr? that should probable be my next step. Dr's are required to checklist suspected abuse. stable luck!
