I am so sorry you and your dd are going through this.What in the world are the parents of the abuser thinking by moving near you?
It is bad enough our children get abused,but often when they do speak out THEY are treated worse than the abusers.Similar to bullying people will ask..why didn't you stop it? What did you do to bring it on? People who speak out are often more shunned than the actual perputraitor(sp). I think that is because people are so very uncomfortable with the knowledge that this sort of thing occurs,and they are somewhat angry that they have to admit it happens.
And you are right in that,atleast for me, the thought of girl on girl sexual abuse has not occured to me as something I need to watch for.
Part of me would want to move and part of me stay,because the home is so special BUT I would still start looking for another home.It is like living next to a NFH. You hate to give in but I have read of many stories where people eventually move and have a wonderful life now.I would start looking for another home even if you are not really wanting too.Just look.You may come across something better.
I always tell my dh that the loss in money from the sale of our home would be OK ,because we would be buying a home that is BETTER and probably cheaper. It is just money and money comes and goes.We will never get the money we put into the home due to the recent value drops.I was looking at homes the other day and saw one that was selling for 15k,and that same house had sold for 65k in 2008.Major loss for those people but I am guessing they have their reasons.I have seen many sales like that.
I am suprised no one is shunning the girl.Isn't SHE embarrassed beyong belief by the public exposure of her sexual actions with another girl? I suppose it is hush hush (what SHE did) or maybe the public /peers blame your dd more than the girl that abused her? I know I would not want my dd playing or even talking with a girl that has found ways to get their playmates to perform sexual acts on them.I guess if no agency listened to me I would be talking to other mothers daily and letting them know they should watch out for that girl and why.Yea,they can deny it too(and say you are a mean gossip) but atleast you warned them.
It is going to be so hard for your dd to get through this given what has resulted since she confided in you.I am so sorry.Hugs for you both and prayers for healing.
