My now 14 year old daughter was molested/raped by my ex-boyfriend whom at the time was 45 years old. This happened when we lived in VA and once we moved to Charlotte, NC. He threatened to kill me and my younger daughter if my 14 year old told anyone; so she kept quiet for a year. He is not in jail yet for these charges. The DA in Charlotte, NC denied the case. The Detective in Chesapeake, VA just found his whereabouts and they are dragging their butts about locking him up. They have been investigating since Feb 2007 and still no results. My daughter's self esteem has been torn down. I feel like I let her down as her mother. I am staying on the Detective's butt and the Child Protective Service Worker's to make sure they don't let this slip into file Z. I need to make sure justice is served..............I want to make sure he has a record for this and it does not happen to no one else and if it has happened before I want the others to come forward. He is a munipulator, liar and a crooked concert promoter.........................

Have you thought about contacting WavyTV10 here (10 on your side) to see if they can set some fire under the detective and the police department. You know they don't like the media attention.

ALSO WHAT IS FRIGHTENING IS THAT A CLUB PROMOTER IS ACUSSED OF HAVING SEX WITH MANY WOMEN AND POSSIBLY MEN NOT TELLING THEM HE HAD THE HIV VIRUS.

:mad: I am realy doing my best not to handle this situation the wrong way,But it is realy hard. My son has been molested in school by a student who has done this before, at this same school The school principles never called the authorities in any of the cases.It took them almost two weeks to contact me . The student who molested my son, his mother was called the same day.During the two weeks that I didnt know , this student
still had contact with my son. I have contacted everyone I can think of for help with this matter , I am so at the end of my rope.
These principles still have
their jobs and nothing is being done to help my family get through this .
My son is not in counseling the one he had thinks he fine . I dont want to wait untill he does this to someone else before he gets help.I took my son out of this school , but in doing that I had to falsify documents to get him some where safe. This puts me at risk of being arrested. If any one can help please we need it. To read about this story go to americaiswatching.org under georgia school abuse.

It's more than unfortunate that children today are being molested at an alarming rate. I know I will probably get a lot of flack in response to my response. However! I feel this way just the same. We as women have to take our time and be more selective when choosing a mates. He's cute and have a nice "a__" is not enough. Before we even really know him, we go around telling our friends how wonderful he is and he is this and that. You don't even know what he's about. The next thing you know, they are telling you they are in LOVE. I think that women make it all about the man and "what he likes". I take the opposite approach, how about what I like. He's not the only one that has to be happy in a relationship. In their effort to make him happy, they forget about their children. Additionally, why not wait to have children once you have developed a stable, loving and mutually respectful relationship. Percey Sledge said it many, many years ago in "When A Man Loves A Woment".

Go back to the old school and learn what real relationships are about. Just as a tip, it's not nice clothes, shoes and all the outward false imaging.

I was molested as a little girl by my cousin. My grandmother find out about but instead of telling me about what was going on and why it was a terrible thing I got beat. After that any time that it happened I never told her or any of the other adults because I was afraid. The molestation continued for years until I was old enough to stand up to my cousin and tell him no. The issue is that it isn't discussed. It is swept under the rug like so many other issues in the black community. It's like there is a shroud of secrecy over molestation and kids are not being equipped to be able to say no or tell some one for help. I pray that it does get talked about more and people are educated enough to tell their children that they don't have to except what is happening to them.

I feel your pain but first let me say to you by all means dont let your daughter fall victim to depression and talk to her and let her know that it is not her fault and get her in programs this can take a toll on a young person life!!!! If the rape happened in VA you can not go to another state and file charges you should had went to the magistrate office in Va and had your daghter write a statement and the allow the law to go from there. By the way I used to reside in Va Beach. I see stories like this all the time and you see all the stories in the news about kids being molested and still are able to come forth later and file charges so please sont give up and fight til you have the creep under bars!

Well I feel like this, sometimes us a women tend not to think of what a man or woman may do to our children b/c we are so busy wanting company. I did not hear to much on women also been the abuser the do molested children as well. Unfortuantely this type of thing happens all the time we need to talk with our children. And let them know that they can trust us and make it easy for the kids to talk with us and we has parents need to believe them b/c kids have nothing like this to lie about. Alot of parents tend to take the abuser side and not the children.

Sad Sad Situation!!!!!!

I am a victim of child molestation myself...i am now in my mid 20's and I have never told anyone but my fiance' and when i told him it was back in high school and I told him that I never wanted to talk about it again. He has respected my wishes ever since. I was molested on 2 occasions by an older cousin, back when i was in 4th or 5th grade and he was 18 or 19. I didn't know or understand that it was wrong...I just know that it made me feel very uncomfortable. It's something that sticks with you for years and it pops up in your head on occasion. I have a toddler daughter of my own now and I find myself very particular about the men she comes in contact with. Her father is the only one I completely trust to be alone with her. Although I know every man does not do the things that my cousin did to me, the situation made me this way....recently he was in the paper for molesting a young girl and my heart sank:( It kind of makes me blame myself because I could have prevented it if I told someone. I now wonder everyday, how many young girls he has done this to. I'm saying all of that to say this...talk to your young daughters about good touch and bad touch as early as you can, ask them if anyone has ever touched them inappropriately, or in a way that made them feel uncomfortable...I have a wonderful mother, but, that's just something she never really talked to me about and that's why I didn't understand at the time whether it was right or wrong. I don't know if I will ever tell anyone else about this, but, I just felt the need to share my story to help others. God Bless

My ex- husband molested my 9 year old daughter last year and nothing became of the case because of "lack of evidence" I put him out because I found out he was selling drugs out my house in November and my daughter told me in January. I told the cops twice, told CPS and the case was unfounded both times. MY sons hate him and are terrified of the fact that they might see him again. I'm trying to keep them away from him and I'm in court fighting now to keep visitation away from him, but there is a twist in this story... he's a sex offender already and I knew him before he was convicted of sexual battery and he was a nice guy so I went with him to his classes stood by him and 6 years later we married. Many people told me that this was my fault and it would not have happened if I never met him but I can't say that because I have 2 great kids by him and If I said that I'd deny my babies. I thank the lord that I have my new man who has stood beside me and my children and hes been the "super glue" of our whole family, A TRUE BLACK MAN. He is my hero and I love him dearly for that. My family is going to counseling to mend the damage that my ex has caused and one day we will heal from this. As of now, my ex is living with my current boyfriends ex-girlfriend and I tried to warn her because she has a daughter and she told the detective that my daughter is a liar and she doesn't' know my daughter! To anyone that reads this: ALL OFFENDERS WILL REPEAT THE OFFENSE IF GIVEN THE CHANCE!

I commend you for staying on top of it. Don't worry about what you didn't do before. The important thing is you are there now for your daughter. Continue to encourage her and let her know to confide in you anytime something like this happens in the futures. I take it you filed the necessary paperwork in both cities. Is there a way they can register him as a rapist even if no charges filed? Hang in there . I will pray for you both.

Thank you for reminding me to do this. I really meant to do it and see that it is very necessary. I think I will not only talk to my 9 year but my 19 and 22year old too. You sharing your story helps others. My prayer is that you feel totally free from any guilt or shame and are able to move forward now. Take care.

I have a daughter that is 12 years old and it concerns me to think of the sick folk targeting our children. Do not blame your self for the actions of others. Even under the closest supervision there are still times our children will be vulnerable. The best thing is education of what is inappropriate gestures or actions and self-defense classes. Continue the fight and keep the faith...you will be victorious.

You're right... but what does that have to do with the price of tea in china!!!... It's possible you'll never know what a person is about until your child is viticmized. It could be 18 years later. I'm kinda confused what does your opposite approach has to do with child abuse, because what I'm reading from you, it's all about you and when you're thinking about you your child can still get molested. Your on the wrong topic!!! What the hell does a man loving a women have to do with it, because a man can love you and still molest your child. your response does'nt fit. :mad:

Hi,
I hope that this reply reaches you in the best of health spiritually, mentally, as well as physically. I am so upset at what you and your baby are going through. I know from personal experience how she feels. And I am sure that she knows and understands what you are doing for her. Unlike myself, I was blaimed for what happened to me. Thank God that you are there for her. It is not your fault for his actions. You must understand that. So take continue to take of self and your baby. God is with you both and you are both in my prayers.

Walkersisters,
It is people like you and your comments who make me sick. You cannot blaim the victims for what a perpatrator does. The mother was victimized as well. Unless you have been there, then keep it shut. These types of comments are not needed when a person is needing support and justice. Keep on walking in another direction sister until you find the right clues in life.

These types of comments are not needed when a person is needing support and justice. Keep on walking in another direction sister until you find the right clues in life.Listen... I'm only responding to what she said, that is she knew he was convicted of sexual battery and she married him. from my point of veiw(which I have one) classes are nothing when it comes to sexual battery, he needed therapy in-patient treatment. Also, what tyhpe of sexual battery did he commit that alone would make you think about if it could happen to you. She knows he's a rat. It's people like me who need to tell people like you and her the truth know matter how difficult it make you feel. I believe that what this forum is about and if you dont like it then dont post!!!!

As a matter of fact I have been there, I was rapeed at age ten by my sister's best girlfriend brother. Two weeks ago I found out that a person I was going to marry years ago and who had been a friend and continued to be a step-father to my daughter since she was two years old approached my now sixteen year old daughter to take off her clothes so he could watch her play with herself. I know what it's like to be a victim. I've been living with this for the past two weeks. I also have a Degree in Human Services and Counseling. It's not that I don't sympathize with her and the children; she knew what she was dealing with before she married him. You shut-up she may need to look at her behavior before she get into another relatioship sister!!!

Let me clarify something to everyone......yes I knew he was one and the classes he took for 5 years was therapy classes with life line!
in VA. I knew him before and like I said he was a nice guy and im a firm believer in giving a person a fair shake in life. I don't judge a book by its cover. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions but I'm not a hypocrite. I'm not going to look at your past and judge you for it because its not right when your trying to do the right thing. He told me because he wanted to marry me and he had to tell me by law after my daughter was born. like I said when I found out he did that on top of the drug selling I let him go and though nothing else of him other that pure hatred so where do you get off telling me my #&@# behavior needs to be evaluated?! I'm in counseling now and you need to go right along with me.

I am the mother of a 5 year old chlid an unfortunate incident took place at Stuchberry Elementary.
On August 16th 2006, my son needed to use the restroom, and was denied this need and as a result, he defecates on himself. When his clothes were, soiled the fecal matter was still left on his shoes, so they did not put his shoes back on; instead they were placed in a plastic bag then put in his school bag. This left my child to roam around barefoot. The worse part about this was that he was subjected to walk to the bus in his barefoot, and the heat of the ground outside placed 1st degree burns on his feet. He was examined by Doctor, who discovery that Delloyd had receive 1st degree burn on his feet.

As a parent, what I am most upset about the way me and my son were treated. I was not told about this matter, how I found out was my son day care gave me an incident report on how he was pickup from Stuchberry Elementary without any shoe on his feet. Both teacher and principal spoke to me harshly and were rude and quite belligerent. There was no concern for my son, or me. I was told by the teacher that she do not clean children, nor help in assisting them going to the restroom. When I expressed to the principal my frustrations and concern over the matter involving my son, she retorted back saying (“I do not want you to come back”, I don’t have 5 hours to spend with you, I have a daughter to go home too).”
This is not only unprofessional, but unnecessary. The way this matter was handled by the staff of Stuchbery Elementary was unfair to me and my son, and their actions should be reprimanded.The school board did not want to chages the teacher with child negligent, so nothing was done about this matter.

After all someone decided to take up your plight. When I perfectly
understood what you wrote .... you went to classes with him and he's the perpetrator who committed a sexual crime against another women or child needs intensive care, by that I meant a license psychologist. Under the circumstances he didn't and still do not need to mingle around in society and having relationships with anyone but a license psychologist. I know what therapy classes with life lines are AKAmeeting with other sexual offenders. You told your chronicles; I replied that's what this form is about. What I said is true there's no debate about it, because you know he's a RAT. True? I apologize if I hurt your way of thinking. However, remember this is the wrong forum for you to go into great particulars about your private life. sharing one's chronicles on threads like this; you will get one's opinion, next time you decide to share theses chronicles state what happen to your daughter, and leave the rest for when you're laying on your counselors couch.

The reason I posted on this thread is to tell my story and warn people about this subject and far as personal life, I don't mind going into particulars about it. and like I said you need to do a little research on life line because a LICENSE PHYCOLOGIST IS THE COUNSELOR AND NON OFFENDER ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THOSE MEETING THUS MEANING PERSONAL MEETINGS. AS far as the rat concern like I said nice person at first but as the years went past he got comfortable and thought he could do it and get away with it and unfortunately he did. Let me ask you this: would you let a cashier work for you if knew she shoplifted 5 years ago with no more acts committed since? or maybe A former lesbian gone straight, do you think she deserves heaven? these questions have one thing in common--second chances-----its up to the individual if the want to do right or keep down the wrong path. my thoughts were everyone deserves one but now its do you really deserve one. I will get my point across and your missing the whole point. I'm writing a blog about it and my concerns on the whole sex offender topic and last I will post what I feel and continue to do so until i'm booted of here for this subject. GOD BLESS :)

Get a lawyer and sue the school system. that not right for a child to have have burns on his feet like that! call cps on the teacher and principal if needed because thats child neglect. If you sent your child out like that they would do it so whats the difference? stay strong and fight.....god bless your family

GOD BLESS :) I see you must make things more convoluted then there really are? A license psychologist can be counselor…. but is a counselor a license psychologist? No…. life lines are people reach out too support others. Regarding your first question… would you let a cashier work for you if you knew she shoplifted five years ago with no more acts committed since? Yes… I would if a background check is satisfactory and not just because I believe she/he deserves a second chance, of course you want to protect your business. Your second question is questionable? If a former lesbian gone straight, do she deserves heaven? Why does she have to be a former lesbian to deserve heaven? Anyway …. I assume in your eyes she’s a Christian. It’s not for me to say, because who knows who’s going to heaven until judgment day. There’s information on the internet, in books, at colleges, family and friends. Knowledge is powerful. What I don’t understand is that you continue to defend this man, why you gave him a second chance in life with theses unrelated questions. No need to justify your way of thinking to me, I’m sure during counseling sessions you’ll realized the part you played. What were you doing during the counseling session with him? And why were you there? That’s my question to you. …. I’m not missing the point… you supported a man convicted of sexual assault by going to counseling with him for five years and on the six year you married and had two children with him. He molested his now nine year old daughter. You decided to share your story here on this thread. Right... To let us know the once a sexual offender always a sex offender. Is that accurate? Do I deserve what? A second chance... you started this. I’ll go back to what I said from the beginning that your husband is a RAT!!! Now do you want to keep going down the wrong path?

I was raped at the age of 15yr old. I lost my virginity that day. The male was 36 yr old. He told me that I was too old to be a virgin. I was babysitting a neighbor's child when her and her boyfirend came home. She sat downstairs while he was upstairs raping me. When I told her she agreed with him! How sick is that?

I was molestation from the age of 8 to 10 and at that time I though there was nothing wrong with it. Until I started having bad dreams. I told my mother when I was 21 and she did not believe me and our relationship with every since. Because without checking it out she acused me of a lying b**ch that keep up trouble.So you see that is why I feel child raper should get life in jail so the same thing can happen you until they die.

I'm not defending him, I and yes I made the mistake but people like you are what the world needs.... A hypocrite. I went on here to tell people about the mistake I made so what? I don't want anyone to go through what I went through. I will keep going on, my family will keep going. AND LIKE i SAID A OFFENDER WILL REPEAT IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE LAWS IN AMERICA TO GIVE SEXUAL PREDATORS THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE THERE IS AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT 5-7 YEARS! These individual should get life or near 20-30 years in prison for the damage they cause their victims. MY heart goes out to Tiffanie im so sorry to that you had to go through that experience, and Buffie that was some foul S@#t they did to? did you call the police? what happened after that? I hope that man and his girlfriend are both locked up. Please don't let those experiences ruin you lives...god bless the both of you

I was molested by my bio-dad as a child. From the age of 11 to about 14. Was threatened with harm to my mom and sibs if I told. My mom ended up walking in on him molesting another child in the neighborhood. Didn't hear a peep, but the molestation stopped. Unfortunately, the damage was already done..I began medicating my anger, hurt, shame, and every other feeling with drugs and alcohol.

it's been a long, hard road...

but thanks be to God, I am sober 19 years. Did a lot of internal and emotional work...but my radar still goes up when I find a grown man spending too much alone time with a kid - even in my congregation.

Now 45, it took me some time, some years to deal with the Incest, Molestation I suffered at the hands of my siblings. Sadly, while lying in my bed in Federal Custody, something was bothering, to the point that I could not sleep, there was something that I needed to say. So, I found the Strength, the Widsom, the Courage to put it into word. I call my poem
"Abused, the Survivor's Story".

As I lay awake each morning, lonely, helpless and confused
Trying hard to hide those feelings, of Guilt, Ashamed, Confused.
Last night I dreamed we were together, weird thoughts ran through my head,
what I thought was just a "nightmare", you were lying in my bed.

When you'd come home in the evenings, you'd often greet me with a smile,
but today you looked right through me, "your face showed deep denial".

Now that the acts are over, the pain is here to say,
I have these words to offer you, To God For You I Pray.

So now what am I ashamed of, when it's you whose confused,
the sexual acts you performed on me, with me it's called "Abused".

I hope that this poem, will allow some child, some adult to find, peace, solice within themselves, finally knowing that "it was not your fault", "you are not to blame", " you have nothing to feel guilt or ashamed about".

Thanks
