Could DSD have been abused? *Trigger waning*

DH is in the midst of a custody battle for his DD. It turns out her mothers boyfriend had a long criminal record and history of domestic violence. She often left this man alone with her DD and photos of him and DSD in her underwear have emerged.

My step DD is 3. SS have been involved re the DV. Apparently he isn't allowed around his own children as has refused a risk assessment.

I've been remembering times when she would scream out that her foo foo was hurting, it happened often and she seemed in acute pain. When asked if we could see if anything was wrong she'd bend into positions I wouldn't expect if a 3 year old. Sorry. I'm not sure how else to put that.

She would also try to squirt things up there in the bath.

I don't know if I'm massively overreacting but under the circumstances I'm genuinely worried.

This definitely warrants reporting. Your instincts are right. Flowers

Thanks all. I told DH. He called ss but they weren't very helpful, said he'd have to call back on Tuesday so he called the police instead. They were fantastic. Spent an hour on the phone and are visiting his ex wife and DD tomorrow.

Good luck to you both xx hope the little girl is ok

I think you did the right thing in reporting. One thing worth considering though based on the things you describe is whether she could have worms? In girls they can get in and around the vulva/vagina and cause acute pain, not just itching. Squirting water might give her some relief?

colouringinagain · 28/05/2017 23:31

You did the right thing reporting this.

PossibiliTea · 28/05/2017 23:37

Whatever the outcome you have done the right thing.

Squishedstrawberry4 · 28/05/2017 23:38

Yes well done for reporting. It could just be worms or dribbling wee on to her pants and then reacting. But best to be safe

Squishedstrawberry4 · 28/05/2017 23:40

Is she totally dry OP? Or does she have small accidents?

MyCalmX · 28/05/2017 23:40

You absolutely did the right thing Flowers

ohfourfoxache · 29/05/2017 00:26

Well done, you have definitely done the right thing

I hope you and dh are as ok as you can be Thanks
