BellaOnline Forums Family Child Abuse My Son's story

My son Cubby is 7 1/2 years old. Cubby's dad has been picking him up without a license which he lied said he had one. The last visit (which was June 14 and 15) he picked cubby up and was stopped by the state police and was arrested. Him and his girlfreind was put in jail over night and they lied to the cops said Cubby was both of thier kid and he had to go to foster care over night. So they picked him up the next day and took him up to his house and Threaten cubby not to tell. Daddy was drinking both days. Daddy punch cubby in the face bloodyed cubby's nose and black'n blued it. Cubby still said he was going to tell me so His step pappy(a child molester) grabbed Cubby by the neck and began to choke him till he promised to not to tell.
They brought him back said he fell down the basemaent steps. So the next visit Cubby refused to go he screammed and cried for an hour. So over the last two weeks he's slowly has been telling me what had happened. I am lucky his conselors seen the nose. Cubby has been telling them the same story. Children and Youth in two county's are involed they are trying to find out if he was arrested and they will go from there. And Of course daddy is dening everything and saying Cubby is telling stories.

That poor child, I am glad he is getting counseling thats so important, Social Services and the police dept. will work together. his dad is truly an abuser. I hope you pressed charges against him also. Your son needs much love, and told that he did the right thing by telling the truth.

ReddogJill,
I good thing for you to try to do would be to document everything, whether Cubby told you or his dad told you. But, keep a paper trail and document everything you can about visits with dad, emotions, bruising anywhere etc. I was horrified to hear of what Cubby had to go through, but am thankful that Cubby is seeing a counselor and telling them the same things he is telling you.
