Attention: Mom's and Dad's. How would you anticipate you would reacte (or how did you) if you found out about your son or daughter being a victim of sexual abuse?

Asked by LeopardGecko (1237points) January 10th, 2010

Situation A: Your son was molested at the age of 3 multiple times, by somebody you formerly knew. He now has told you about it at the age of 19.

Situation B: Your daughter was sexually assaulted and she told you right after it happened. Months later it happened again and she again told you right after. She begged you not to tell the police has the assailant had threatened to kill her if she told (he was also in a high profile gang)

For both or just one situation,

What kinds of questions would you/did you ask?
What would/what was your reaction to this?
What would/what did you do for them after this?
