Answers:
You were four!. You didn't know what was going on, and your uncle knew better than that!.
Depending on how old you are, you need to let your parents know, or the police know (or both)!. If youre scared of whats going to happen if you tell someone and he gets in trouble, think about this: if you don't tell, are there other children that he could do this to as well!? Would it be worth it not to tell someone and let this same thing happen to someone else!? And let them feel the way you do now, years later!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course it's still abuse!. You were four years old!. It doesn't matter if you said okay!. He was older, and you were a child!. He told you it was okay so you'd believe it was okay!. He manipulated and took advantage of you!.
That's abuse!.

And there is definitely a point in telling someone now!. Depending on your age, you could try to press charges against your uncle!. And if you don't want to do that, you probably have issues you need to work out, and talking to someone can really help that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes that is deffinitley sexual abuse! and yes there is a point of telling someone! tell your mum!. you were only 4, you could give your consent to anything!. you didn't know any better!. did he actually go inside you!? or did he just make you watch the sex scene!? if he went inside you its rape!. and you deffinitley need to tell someone about that!.

talk to your mum about this!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Uh, YES it is sexual abuse!. Obviously you remember it and you were four!. People don't develop their memory fully until the age of 5!. The only instances of someone remembering in great detail what happened prior to that development is when something more or less traumatizing happens to them!.

What exactly did he do that you remember so vividly!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honey thats sexual abuse!!!
Family love doesn't work like that!
Listen, tell your mom or a councilor!. What he did was wrong! If he loved you, like an uncle loves his neice, he would've NEVER did that to you!. Family is suppose to protect you from that!

Let someone know, he took advantage of you & sexually abused you!. It's not your fault!. He's a bad person, something has to be done!Www@Answer-Health@Com

What he did was wrong on so many levels!. You were a minor, and no matter if you said yes or not, It's illegal and sickening!. He has abused you, what makes you think he hasn't abused someone else!? Abusers always try to justify what they are doing, so by you saying that you said yes it doesn't make it right sweetie!.
There is every point in telling someone, he deserves to be put away for this ****!

It is still sexual abuse because you were under age!. He was the adult and since you are still having thoughts about it, then you need to go to a counselor!. They will be able to guide you to understand why he was wrong in doing what he did!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you were 4 years old!.
it's inappropriate, no matter whether you were consenting or not!.
that's child abuse!.
a 4 year old has not yet reached the age of consent, and to touch them like that is wrong!.
talk to your mum about it!.

and stay away from the uncle!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is definitely child sexual abuse! Unfortunately your uncle (your molestor) took advantage of you on so many levels when you were only a preschooler!. I'm not sure where you are getting that you "consented" to his actions, but a four year old cannot legally consent to anything!. Depending on your state, the age of consent in the U!.S!. ranges from 16-18 with most states having the laws set for 18 years of age!.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to experience this from someone you trusted at that time!. However, you don't specify if you still have to see him at family functions, nor do you specify your age!.

Depending on how much time has gone by and what state you are in you may or may not be able to press charges due to statue of limitation laws!. However, if you are still a minor, your parents or guardians should still be able to press charges on your behalf!. Remember that if you share this with counselors at school or in a hospital, teachers, etc!., by law they have to report it!. I don't want you to be upset if you weren't informed of this!. I do however, strongly advice you to seek help if you are still under age!. You cannot deal with this alone!. Even if several years have already gone by!. Seek help!.

If you are an adult and this happened many many years ago, then I would definitely suggest therapy for you to get it off your chest and have someone listen to you and support you!. Again, you would have to check with a lawyer if you want him off the streets!.

I know this sounds like a lot of information and you may or may not understand the severity of what has happened to you!. But, I will tell you this, if your uncle is still living and around other children, whether they are related to you or not, there is a big possibility that he could be doing or already has done the same that happend to you to someone else!. By speaking out, you will protect other innocent children from being hurt by this man!.

Take care of yourself!. And do what you know is the right thing to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had a similar thing happen when I was a teen ,!.30 yrs ago!.!.!.!. I never told anyone either!. I recently learnt that the guy did eventually get reported and charged with several sex related offences!. !.

What your uncle did to you was wrong and you were too young to know any different!. If this is too much of an emotional scar then tell someone and get it dealt with!.!.!.The memory will fade abit but as he is a family member its probably going to be hard!. There is also the very real possibility that he is still offending so if you are brave and strong emotionally report him and stop this from happening to other girls!.

I dont know how long ago this happened to you but I know the guy that interfered with me had been doing it for a very long time to other girls and he was charged 20 odd years later!. He was a foster parent and from a good church-going family etc!.!.!. really makes me sick and mad!.

Basically if you need to report him to get on with your life then do it!.!.!.you will not be the only one who was interfered with!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You were a little girl I really hate when rapist's say "You seduced me!." That's almost impossible!. When you're a child you believe what an adult tells you!. You thought he was being nice, now that you are older you realize something was wrong!. Thank goodness he didn't try something more(but it's still disgustingly wrong)!. It's honestly up to you if you want to tell!. I would want to know if there was a perv in my family!.!.!.

You are old enough to make a decision and (this will sound ignorant) he didn't really like do any actual sex acts and I doubt he would be charged with anything!. If you want to protect the rest of your family than tell!. Too many little girls hold in their past!.

To me it is sexual abuse, or inappropriate touching, I don;t know what you call it but it's inappropriate because you were a child and acting as if you were someone he was dating, or married too, and you were too young to understand!. Ugh there's so much to say about such pervertedness and I am sorry I don't have a clear cut answer for you but I hope I helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is still completely sexual abuse!. You may have heard of something known as the age of consent - in many states, this is the age of 18 but here in Canada it's age 14!. Either way, you were below this age at the time of the incident so even if you had wholeheartedly agreed and encouraged him, it is still sexual abuse!. You didn't understand fully what was going on and he did!. You are the victim in the situation!.

There is a point in telling people now!. For one, consider your own mental health!. It may be very beneficial for you to talk to a counselor about this or let it be known to your parents, and hopefully they will take action and you will feel justified!.

Also, if he did this once then it is possible he will reoffend with another young child!. You don't want another child subjected to this inappropriate behaviour, and I'm sure you understand what it's like to be a child in that situation with an adult and afraid to speak up!. Tell someone to help protect other children from him!. He is a predator, whether or not he is your uncle and regardless of your relationship with him!.

You were abused!. You need to talk, if not to your parents who will hopefully press legal action, then at least to a close friend or a school counselor who can help you sort through your feelings and realize that you were the victim and did nothing wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
