I would give this person a wood shampoo with a baseball bat then report him to the police.

Firstly I would have to calm myself, this is about the child not me. I would have to take the time to sit down & take to them about what has actually happened. Firstly if it's true before going off in an angry rage & to what extent. It would depend on the circumstances & the child's age. I would make sure the child feels safe & secure & that they know it will never ever e ehappen again. This is a very serious allegation & you really ht have to be sure about it. I have 4 kids & they can say things out of context. If I believe what I have been told is true I would call my relative & give them the opportunity of explaining themselves. I would then talk to other members of the family & even friends. I would also go to a sexual assault counselor to ask them their opinion & have them also talk with the child. They will need counseling. If after all that it is apparent that the child had been abused I would call the police & make my case. You really have to have everything right before going to the police & you could cause a lot of harm if it was not true. You must always remember that this is about the child & making them feel safe & secure.

I would call the police if the child is a reliable source. I had an experience with this in my family. My cousin said that her father was molesting her and the police got involved. Things got messy and then months later she finally confessed that she made it up for attention!!! In the meantime my aunt divorced my uncle and he was removed from his home with all his kids. If you believe it is true, then 100% positively report it. If you find holes in the story then ask some more questions before ruining the adults life if you think it might be made up. It is a hard spot to be in. Good Luck!

I would call the police and report the molestation to protect my children and any others in the family. Most molesters actually molest family members more than strangers as they feel safer about being reported.

make sure your children are no longer going to be around this person until you get to the bottom. Now please don't get me wrong on this, I just read an article where a man was sent to jail, because he had refused to let his neice have a toy, so she told her mom that he molested her. Children do lie, now that being said. You need to contact the police and let them investigate this, let them talk to your children and do all the thinking, they can get to the bottom of it. Just make sure you look at this with a very open mind and eyes. Good luck and I am sorry you are having to deal with such a tragedy.

This is a no-brainer, call the police of course! Then I'd confront the son-of-a-gun who was doing this...and I'd make darn sure he/she never had contact with my kids or anyone else's....ever. Then of course the poor children would have to undergo all kinds of counseling. What I'd really like to do to a child molester, I'd rather not say. Scum of the earth!

Call the police and report it to them and press charges! I am a victum of molestation and if anyone even thought it about doing that to my kids i would seriously have to be held down from killing them. The damage it does is never really ever gone or totally repairable. It can cause all sorts of problems for that child not to mention its just sick and a horrible act.

First of all, make sure that person no longer has access to your kids, until you find out the details.
Unless you have reason to believe otherwise, I would believe your kid. Better to be safe than sorry. Then, you can decide to either contact the police, or just keep your child away from that person. Maybe confront the person, too, so they know you are aware of it.
But, if that person molests some other kid, and you did nothing about it, you are just as guilty.

The jury is still out if I'd pound their daylights out. But I'd first tell their spouce what their loved-one has done to a child. I'd then call the police. Inmates have a special treatment for child molesters.

Family or not- contact the authorities. Every rapist and molester is someone's brother.
I was best friends with a lady for over 13 yrs... her son did something to my daughter when they were very young... I ended the friendship the minute she denied her son's wrongdoing and called police.

i would totally believe them and do something drastic...1/3 of america's female population will be molested before they're 18 and 1/5 of the male population will. and the scary thing is is that 50% of those people but sexually abused by a someone in there family. i would do something before it happens again!!
