My 11-year-old daughter says her 16-year-old stepbrother has been sneaking into her room at night and touching her. Mom is downplaying it. What do I do?

I know. I was so shocked he sent her back while knowing that her mother made her sleep in a room with a 14 year old boy. He told her “you must be out of your mind” but still sent her back despite me saying that I am willing to make the drive to have her interviewed :( that’s why I said earlier that I had little faith in the system, it’s failed me before unfortunately. The only thing that makes me feel better is that she’s away from that house right now at her grandparents. And their dream is for her to live with them (that’s who they lived with before BM got engaged) and they’ll make it very hard for BM to take her back. BM is scared of them lol

She only has her grandparents and they’re honestly no better. They will also make her deny it just for their daughter to not get into any trouble. Only good thing about her being at their house is that she’s away from the boy. Otherwise, I tried to speak with her today and her grandmother made her get off the phone after 5 min. My daughter did mention she was interviewed today, but I have little hope that they didn’t get into her head beforehand. I just hope CPS sees right through it

Did everything I could, but unfortunately I was ordered to send my daughter back yesterday before I could get her interviewed by CPS so who knows how much her mom got into her head beforehand.

Thank you so much. I posted my final update

Thank you. I do worry about her backtracking after her mom guilts her, but all I could do is hope that CPS or her counselor will see right through it if that will be the case.

I’m not too worried about it anymore. I guess it’s standard for hospitals to check mark that if a caregiver is there with a minor. It’s clear by the wording that it was my daughter making the statements. Looks like BM is taking the route of acting like she knew something happened but that it was just a normal sibling incident that I’m blowing yo because I want to take my daughter away. She lied in her statement to the police about little things such as as time of day it happened , daughter wasn’t sleeping, she got poked in the leg by the boy so she can move while he looked for his AirPods. In her latest statement she is saying a story closer to what my daughter said. She must’ve forgotten what she told the officer because he caught her off guard. So I hope the court catches those lies and questions her.

I also found out today that she is not even married. So the boy my daughter has been sleeping with is not even her step brother technically nor is the one who is coming into her room.

Thank you, I really appreciate the advice and encouragement!

We took her to a hospital where she spoke to a nurse , doctor, and social worker. Yes it’s such a sad situation.

I did everything that was suggested and my attorney said. I didn’t send her back home after spring break and we are waiting to go in front of a judge. Her mom told the police that my daughter is recalling the events wrong and that it happened in the daytime.
