Can anyone help my baby?

by Name Undisclosed
(Ontario, Canada)

I don't know if you can help me, but I will ask anyways. My little girl's daddy is taking me to court for custody of our child. I am so upset, I don't know what to do. He said all these lies about me, and the sad thing about it is, our daughter does not even want to go with him, ever. She says no all the time to him, and she says to him that he is a liar.

You see in 2005, my daughter was about to turn 2, and after she came home from her father's house and while I was bathing her, she all of a sudden asked me, "Why did daddy put his finger in my bum." When I asked her to explain to me, she went to put her finger in her vagina. I was so sick, I did not know what to say...well, I made a doctor's appointment and I called the C.A.S. My doctor said that nothing was torn, but it did look bothering. The C.A.S did nothing. It's like they thought that I made it up...well, everything gets worse from there. If you know someone who could help us I would be forever grateful....

P.S.
Do you know anyone anywhere who would do a lie detector test on people?

The doctor should have reported it to Child Protection Services. By the way, what is C.A.S.

You should start taking her to see a counselor. Sometimes a counselor can get things out of them that you can't. If the counselor does, then they can tell the court what is going on.

Maybe even go to the police yourself and have her tell the police. Something should be done.
