The person who committed this act against Zak is a member of our extended family and lives next door to us.
Steven and I have made statements to the police and they said that they will arrest him and question him regardling the incident. We are not sure yet if this has happened, they havent been in contact with us now for nearly a week - but the policeman who came to take the statements told us that this might happen as he had five cases on the go at the moment.
If you would continue to pray not just for us, but also for the extened family, that would be great - they have all found it very distressing, especially the persons mother who has shut herself away in her house.

As one who has experienced sexual abuse as a child it can create a myriad of problems if not dealt with. Please believe everything he is telling you. It is my fervent belief 5 year old will not lie or be confused about such a thing. It may be wise to enlist law enforcement support they can recommend medical professionals that help children through this in the least intrusive way that still gets to the truth of the matter. Just do not ignore it it will not go away without help.

This is not good mate  |

It is a very hard and stressful time. The 9 year old daughter told what happened - the 7 year old son blocked it from his mind - he started studdering immediately and the doctor said until he told it, he would studder - he is now 48 and studders badly. Many people will tell you what to do - but stick with what the doctor says to do. Hopefully he will freely talk to you about what happened, it will be painful to listen to him.

This is just awful awful! I'm so glad the little man was able to speak up though. | | |
