My daughter has disclosed to me today that she was forced to touch a boy and he touched her during her last year of primary school (she turned 17 this month).
Today I feel all the puzzle has been solved as up until y6 she was the happiest confident girl you could know and then she changed we put it down to a bad start in secondary and the sudden death of a close relative.
To cut a long story short my dd didn't complete school as every time she went she would run away, have anxiety attacks and lash out when In a small space. She did a year in a nurturing school and now spends most days in her room as we try and convince her to try and attend college.
Last night she got drunk in her room without our knowledge and became aggressive to us and today she broke down and told me.
She also showed me many messages where the boy has got in touch with her this month and apologised and admitted what he did to her I think this is what brought it to a head.
She has asked me not to phone the police or tell anyone except her dad for the moment but her Camhs worker is coming tomorrow and she said we can tell her.
My questions are ;
will he get into trouble as he was the same age as her at the time ?
And this sounds like I'm thinking of myself but I'm the sole earner and I now work at the place it happened if the police investigate will it affect my job or will I have to leave while they look into it.
Thankyou for reading
