Question

father mellested all 4 of your brother/sister apart from you.None of them are willing to prosocute so he is now seperated from his wife and living a free and comfortable life what would you do??

Serious answers only please.

Answer 1

There is nothing that can be done because of the statute of limitations. It is totally unfair because as children we dont know what to do and have very few rights. Sometimes we dont feel the need to prosecute until we are adults and see what the SOB has done to us emotionally and by then it is too late. But be sure that this man will never change. Child Molesters do not change they only stop the behavior for fear of getting caught. Never under any circumstances allow your children to be alone with this man. Let your siblings know this too, or they will find themselves in a situation of needing to get counseling for their children. He will molest again if given the chance, since nothing happened to him the first time.

Answer 2

because of a recent change in the law you cab report your father to the police for the ctimes that he has commited although it is unlikely that any prosecution would occur as noone who was abused will testify. the flip side of this though is that if you did report this fact then at least the police would be aware of the things that he has done. this could help a lot of people in the long run. i don't mean to be nasty but if he has done it to his own children then how many other peoples children has he done it to. also you need to consider the impact of this abuse on ur siblings but also on any children that any of you have. will this man see his grandchildren and how can you always be sure that he willl not end up abusing them aswelll

Answer 3

If your siblings are not willing to prosecute him for his crimes, there is not much you can do except report him to the police so he doesn't molest any other kids. It's up to your siblings, not you, if they want to sue him. But be sure to protect other kids by letting the police know what he's capable of.

Just be supportive to your siblings and make sure they get the therapy they need to deal with this trauma. Keep in mind that they may on some level resent your help or insistence for prosecution, since you were the only sibling to escape his abuse - just be sensitive to that.
If you still have any connection with your father, let him know that you have discovered his abuse, and let him know how much it distresses you. Be clear with him exactly how much - or how little - communication or interaction you want to have with him from now on.

Answer 4

Sorry to read about such a horrible situation, from own expierence untill your brothers/sisters prosecute you cannot do anything its up to them, i will say though it only takes one of your family members to get the ball rolling in prosecuteing your father.

Takeing the law into your own hands would be justified to many it is not the way to go around this situation, it will land you into seriouse trouble and still leave your father enjoying life.

Answer 5

if he did not molest you you cannot charge him with this crime.if you ever witnessed him molest anyone else you probaly could.i am sorry for your pain and your families this is far too common.i would at least contact the authorities in the area he now lives so they can keep an eye out for him.you could also have the cops search his computer or home for child pornography.warn other family members especially those who have children to never leave any child with him alone never not for even a minute.he cannot be trusted ever! good luck.

Answer 6

Never talk to him again. Try to persuade one of the other kids into prosecuting and if that doesn't work go public. I know a few talk show hosts, newspapers, and magazines that might be interested in your story about how a child molester is roaming free.

PS: I'm sure your local police department might want to know about a child molester that is dwelling in their midst. Even if non of you are willing to press charges he might still have a record.

Answer 7

It does seem an extremely merciless difficulty to do. I mean they have been purely mocking him. He would have rotated,reported some smart words and informed them to visual reveal unit their techniques and made them evaluate starting to be extra suitable human beings. The previous testomony is a secret to me each and every so often. It is going from roar to purr as a pal of mine would say.

Answer 8

Seriously ........ I would contact the police

any other children that he comes into contact with could be in danger .

Contact the police or you will never be able to rest if you found out he has done it again and you didnt say.
Its up to the others how they deal with thier own feelings.

make sure it can not be done to someone else


good luck

Answer 9

Thinking, thinking, thinking.
What I would like to do--words cannot explain
It is not your place to do anything. It was not you. What can you do??? The others want to do nothing. It is their place to do the damage. Why wont they do damage?? It would probably disrupt their lives. I sure hope they are normal and happy. Don't know if you can report him--it would certainly involve the others if you did. Did your mother know???
Good luck

Answer 10

report him to the police. the fact that he is free to potentially do this again to some other child would be enough for me to report him.... i wouldn't be able to rest easy until i knew that i'd done everything i could to bring that person to justice.. even if he were a family member.
