Question: How to find it in my heart to testify against my cousin in a child molestation case!?
When i was younger, around 6, my cousin was 8 and he sexually molested me numerous times!. I didnt tell anoyen though cuz i was scared!.

years later he was in 8th grade i was in 6th, and he ended up molesting another little boy, but he told and my cousin was sent to a penitentuary till he was 20!.

now, he's with a girl that has a kid already, and the kid has told his real father that Frank (my cousin) molested him!. My family doesnt believe he ever did anything to the kid that he was sent away for, and only my mom knows about what he did to me since i told her a few months ago!.

I dont want that to happen to the kid!. CPS is investigating it now!. I feel as i should go testify against my cousin for the safety of the kid, but how can i find it in my heart to testify against my own family!? help!!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

think about what YOU went throughWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sadly because he hurt someone emotionally you and this kid both of you thought you could trust your cousin to keep you safe and he did not he hurt you!.Think of what this poor mom is going through she may lose custody of her child because of this and this poor kid may need years of counseling to get over it do you want your cousin to do this to someone else's child maybe yours in the future!?You have no choice you need to speak up and help keep others safe!.Good luck and stay strong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep in mind that testifying against your cousin is for his own good, though he may not feel that way now!. Your family (except for your mom) denying what is happening is part of the problem!. Your cousin probably feels guilty and dirty about molesting others and he probably wants to stop doing it but doesn't know how!. If he keeps doing it, and he will if others pretend that he is not doing it, his life will end up in a mess and he will wish that someone had stopped him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He doesn't deserve to be known as your family!. What he did was utterly wrong and you have the power to stop it continuing!. It might be hard for you, but if you can't testify for yourself then do it for all the other possible victims out there!. You can be strong, you just need the faith to do it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Look into that child's eyes!. Now ask yourself!.!.!.!.!.!. how can I do otherwise!? I know it takes courage, but I believe you will do the right thing!. You have gone through enough without having to go through the guilt of putting other children through the same pain, by keeping silent!. YOU did nothing wrong when you were 6!. HE is the one that is SICK and needs to be kept away from innocent children!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ethically speaking, I don't think you have any choice here!.

Remember, he did find it in his heart to violate HIS cousin!. Now that you're older, he isn't interested anymore, but rather in younger boys!.

Gotta stop this guy, sorry pal!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sometimes you simply have to be brave mate and do the right thing !.!.!.!.!.!.!. if you stepped up and said your piece you would relieve the crushing sense of stress and guilt that you've been placed under and the sense of freedom that would follow would set you free !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. and that is what this is really all about you know !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. the truth !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. and the truth shall set you free !.!.!.!.!.!. free to be happy and healthy and vital yourself as you are entitled !.!.!.!.!. your cousin is sick and needs psychiatric help !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. unless he is called to task about it he won't get the help he needs and continue to live in his own private hell!.

You need to find a way to do this because the pattern of abuse will keep being repeated!. Sometimes children who are molested can become molesters repeating the cycle over and over!.!.that doesn't mean people DO become molesters just that there is a possibility so the most important thing here is stopping the molester or you will be just as guilty of what happens to this child if you don't speak up and you know the child is telling the truth!. Guilty in a moral way maybe not legally but you really need to step up for this kid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well you can hold up to your principles or you can not testify against someone who you will probably be distant from anyway

standing your ground and doing what your morally think is right and not let the emotion get to you is what you have to do

i would testify because i have been in situations where i have been treated horribly and because of it i never want anyone to suffer the way i did

its your choice, but why prolong the problem, child protective services will find out eventuallyWww@Answer-Health@Com

How can you not take a ball bat to your cousin for what he did to you AND to those other kids!? People like your cousin need to be sent away for a long period of time!. I understand your problem and confliction, I would be also, but you have to do what is best for the greater good!. Is it the best interest of the kids who come into contact with your cousin to be placed in harms way!? HOw about this one-the kids dad could very easily take a gun to your cousin (I know I would) for what was done to his son!. SO wouldn't you actually be saving your cousin by possibly putting him in jail and away from the-probably-very angry father!? And another thing, if he stays with that girlfriend and the boys dad pushes the matter she could loose her son to the dad!. Maybe he sucks as a regular father!. That would cause more problems for the child-again sending your cousin away helps the child and the greater good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
