Child Abuse Story From Amna

by Amna
(Kuwait City)




I was 6 years old and it was a Saturday, and we all woke up early in the morning to visit the local beach and I also got my plastic bucket and shovels with me, I planned to make sand castles with my younger brother, I was a strong willed child filled with joy and determination… When we got there my mother decided we should all walk with her and of course I opposed and said I'm here to make sandcastles with my brother, he left with her and I was alone she told me to go to he'll and wait or go home…home was far away though so I just sat on the bench with my little plastic bucket and waited, 5 minutes later a white Cadillac parks and some 30 something guy gets out. I've always loved animals my whole life, I even chased cats and dogs around.So he tells me there's a cat with her kittens behind the bushes and I follow, my mom isolated us from the world as children she was all we knew and a couple if kindergarten friends, I easily trusted him as I would my mom and followed the guy then I asked where is the cat I see nothing he then replied keep watching the bush she'll come back he then asked me to close my eyes and suck on a pink thing he got from under his jeans yep you guessed it it's his penis…so I did like a little innocent obedient girl would…after that my mom showed up she kept calling me so he freaked out and left my mom asked me about it later and she was afraid so I started crying, after that she cried too when I told her what happened and I felt like I did something wrong because she was screaming No No No!! She then told me he would take my pants off and pee in my mouth…(not a nice thing to say to a six year old eh?) since then I have turned from the joyful willful child to a grumpy hateful person, my mother says my eyes are filled with hate and animosity…everytime they look at my baby and child photos my mom says I was different and nice and now she hates me because I am who I am…I always wish I could just be the old me see whos the real Amna but I can't…

What happened was not your fault. Your mother put you in a risky situation. it was her job to ensure your safety...she failed to protect you. Common sense is enough to realize one never leaves a 6-year-old child alone. This pedophile took advantage of your youth and your vulnerabilities, and without a parent or grown up to ensure he couldn't do anything, you were lured into what most children would be lured into. Just don't ever blame yourself. What's left now is the residual.

Most of us have endured life-altering moments. And when these happen in childhood, they often leave us with lasting effects that we carry well into adulthood. What happened at the hands of this sex offender is in the Past, Amna. It's not happening any more. You can't change the past...what you CAN do is decide how you will live in the Present moment, and how you will deal with the effects of the Past. But you need help dealing with what happened to you, the betrayal, and the repercussions. Please seek out some form of counselling in order to help you. You didn't deserve to be abused. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
