Did you know that your child could be in danger?

[Sonoran Silkies]

A restraining order should help; anti-bullying laws and orders should help; in my opinion, you should demand that your daughter be able to attend school without fear of encountering this other child. If that means the other child may not enroll in that school, but will be forced to attend elsewhere, so be it.

The other child needs, at the very least, intense counselling; are they waiting until she grows up and commits more crimes? Far better to address the issues NOW when there may be some hope for rehabilitation. If that child had assaulted someone with a weapon, would the law stand idly by? Perhaps this is a case of the two children saying that different things occurred, and there is no evidence to back your child since there was a significant delay between when the assaults occurred and when she reported them? I cannot imagine, as a parent, moving my child next door to someone who had accused my daughter of a crime, even if I believed my child innocent.

I am so sorry for you, and so sorry for your daughter! It sounds like an awful situation! It actually breaks my heart for your poor little girl, I cannot imagine

This is insane! History indicates that abusers are frequently being abused themselves (the abuse becomes their normal.) I would be very suspicious of this entire family. This is a major part of why I live where I do- no immediate neighbors!

It did. They went out. They interviewed the child. They closed the case.

No follow up, no mandated counseling, no police interview.

Since they only handle cases with familial relationships or situations where the offender is in a position of guardianship over the victim they have thanked me for calling but explained that they can not do anything. Its not thier jurisdiction.

I can not get a restraining order for the assaults because on an Order of Protection/Restraining Order, you must cite a crime.
There is no legislation on these situations, therefore no crime and no Order of Protection.

We've come to the conclusion that when they were investigated in July after the initial complaint that they thought one of the neighbors in their apartment complex did it. Which is why they immediately sought to move. They never realized it was my daughter who was the victim.

This says to me that there is at least one other victim. And even though mt DD can tell DSS and LE the names of the other children, they wont/cant investigate because in reality, what happened to my DD hasnt really happened because there is no crime.

How's that for totally insane?
