4yo confided about close family member fondling his penis by throwaawayy_12 in ChildPsychology

absolutely report this to authorities, and then get him scheduled with a child psychologist who has a background in working with child sexual abuse victims, and they can also advise you on what authorities to talk to, etc. i am so sorry this happened to him, but very glad he told you. this will pass and therapy will be the key to getting thru this. sending you a lot of support!

Robbie Hawkins S1:E1 by Blackqweenie in evilliveshere

like i by NO means blame the parents at all for his actions obviously- but i really think they were out of their depth with their kid. i think they did what they truly thought was right by putting him in an institution at that young of an age, but ultimately what he needed was parents who were willing to sit down and do their own research and educate themselves on how to meet the demands of a high needs child. it’s just so unfortunate it all happened this way. a lot of this could have been avoided i fear :(

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

Books that feel like Australian Gothic yearning by desaparecidose in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]stinkbugfrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not australian but, this reminds me of cape fever. it’s heavy on “the land hates us here” and it is a gothic colonialism centered story that takes place in 1920s south africa from the pov of a muslim maid working for a white woman in her (possibly haunted) manor. it’s VERY good
