Listen, I’ve seen it all. If you suspect something, report it. My daughter brought home a teenage girl and she said she was being abused by her stepdad. I was shocked at first, because my daughter liked to exaggerate and tell tall tales. I sat down and talked to my daughter’s friend, and then I convinced her to go with me to the police station. This was in another state. She and I sat in a windowless room, for what seemed like forever, until they got to us. Eventually, it was found out that her pos stepdad had been abusing her, and she only confessed to my daughter because she was afraid of her little sisters being abused by her stepdad. I actually got called by CPS, asking if I could take her in for the night, until they could get ahold of her aunt. I gave her my extra nightgown and put her up on my couch. They took her away the next day. Several months later, I dropped my daughter off at a sleepover, and I stayed for a bit, talking to the mom. As I was leaving, I saw that girl. She was glowing with happiness and she and her sisters were doing very well with her aunt. Always believe a child who tells you that they are being abused.
