Child Abuse Story From Ashley3

by Ashley
(Illinois, USA)

From Two People I Thought I Could Trust: 
I am 16 now. When I was 8 and until 12, off and on I was sexual abused by my brother. The first time was on vacation and we were staying at my aunt and uncle's. Downstairs was one bed that I had to share with both my brothers. My little brother was sleeping and my older brother scooted him over and told me it was okay and to start doing things to him that I never imagined myself doing. Using both hand and mouth that night, I was so scared what was to come next.

When we got home it just got worse. He would come in my bathroom, so I started locking it when I realized it was happening every night. But he still found a way in: a knife, or a pin and I just cried in the shower or when I was going to the bathroom.

Then there was another time he told me to get under a mattress with him and another time where it happened when he was in a rocking chair. I was so scared. I thought I was going to get in trouble or they wouldn't believe me. Until one day my mom finally asked me if something had been going on between me and my brother. All I could do was start crying, so at that point she knew something was going on.

The second time this happened was with my uncle, this year, on the day before my mom's birthday. He came over when I was babysitting my brother and sister. I was washing the dishes. He came up behind me and started rubbing my shoulders. Then he went down my back. Then he put his hands in my pants, and I did nothing. I was so shocked, I couldn't move. I thought, why would he after all we have done and all the times we had so much fun going to movies, games, and anything I wanted to do he would do. Then he later took pictures of my butt on his phone and my phone. Then I moved away from him, going to another room. That's when he touched my butt. Then I went into the bathroom and he was telling me this story of this woman he f**ks and he was comparing my breasts with hers then he grabbed mine and said how mine were different than hers and while in the bathroom he texted me and said what's wrong? be brave then I texted my friend and told her to call me and she did and that's when he said he was leaving.

TELL someone what happened...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Ashley, tell someone what happened to you. Tell your mother, or a teacher, a counsellor at school, a church elder, a friend's mother, someone who can help you. Contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, but they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose the abuse. And I strongly urge you to report. You don't deserve to be sexually assaulted by your brother, by your uncle, or by anyone. And please understand that none of what has happened is your fault.
