i'm so sorry to hear about this.

i an understand the parents choice to not go to retrail. it's a lot to go through.

the daughter of a friend of our family was sexually assulted and they've been through hell and back.

You say that your family member is quite young yes? It might not mean much to her now but having this 'thing' out in the open and being able to talk about it is so much better than having to keep it bottled up for years, eating away at her sanity. With time and with proper support she will get better, there is life after abuse.

I hope your family are ok, i can only imagine how much this must suck.
