Was sexually abused as child (in 4th grade) and nothing was ever done although my teacher at school found out and told parents
Asked on Jan 22nd, 2015 on Sex Crimes - New Jersey
More details to this question:
As a child we often went over to my fathers sisters house (my aunt) and her husband would make excuses to go "build a birdhouse" in the garage where it was private. We went there alot and it slowly got worse until the point were his privates were taken out and I was forced to do things. He threatend me and welfare of my parents should I say anything about what I was forced to do. My 4th grade teacher overheard me talking with a classmate about how scared I was and took the matter as serious. She did the right thing....my parents were told and we even found out he had once cornered my mother once... I want to know why this never was escelated and CPS, police, courts, etc. did not get involved. All I remember is it being "covered up and not discussed" and us no longer going over there. I had always intended to ask my father why he didnt take this all the way but he is now in stage 7 of Alzheimers. My uncle and aunt are now dead and the abusing uncle died not long after the abuse.
