Child Abuse Story From Christelle

by Christelle
(Montreal, Canada)




My friend and I were molested by my dad's friend: 
My friend (let's call her Giselle )and myself were touched by my parents friend. Last Friday my parents were having a small party most of the people there were grown-ups that worked at the Université with my dad. Anyway half way throw the party my dad told me that one of the new teachers would be staying with us for the night, so he wanted me and Giselle to go introduce ourselves. At first we thought that he was going to be this really old guy, but we were quite shocked that he was young about 27 or 28, really good-looking, had long blonde hair wore it a ponytail. Anyway he seemed nice enough, really friendly. Basically making small conversation. Anyway it had gotten late ( around midnight ) and the party had started to die down, so me and my friend had went to bed. At around 1am I heard a knock on my door. At first I though it was probably Giselle, but it was my dad's friend. He had asked if he could come in, So I let him in and he started talking to me. Asking me about school, my friends, about Montreal in general. Then he started telling me about how much my dad talks about me to him. Telling me how I'm his "little girl", the "princess" of the family etc. Then I started noticing that his hand was on my knee. I started to get really uncomfortable so I told him and asked him if he would mind leaving. He got up and went the door and closed it and locked it. I got really scared and asked him what he was doing and he started coming towards me and he pushed me on my bed and started to touch/rub and kiss me everywere. I kept crying and trying to push him off but he kept shushing me and telling me how much I would "enjoy it" and how he could see that I wanted "it". The whole thing lasted for about 15 minutes and after that he had got up and helped me put on my shirt and told me that it was going to be our "little secret". I started to cry and just wanted to pretend it was all a bad dream and that it never happend. A few hours later at around 3am I heard more knocking on my door. I though it might be him so I was scared to open my door until I heard Giselle's voice. She was shaking and crying and wouldn't tell me what was wrong. After a few minutes she told me that my dad's friend had come in and got on top of her and started touching her like he done me. Since then I keep wanting to tell my parents but I keep getting scared. Sometimes I think it's my fault and my parents aren't going to believe me. Giselle she goes on like nothing happened and everything's fine. But it's not. Saying she just wants to forget about it. Were both getting ready to turn 17. We really want to tell her parents, but were scared. We don't know what their reactions might be.

Not your fault...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

BOTH sets of parents need to know this man is a sex offender. Tell your parents, Christelle, and then tell your friend's parents too. He will continue to molest other girls until someone tells and stops him. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

tell because they betrayed your parents they are not thier friends either can hurt them more and you later tell them now
by: Anonymous

tell,

who cares what happens tell

you even have a witness two people tell

who cares what they think if they dont believe you , you know the truth to yourself and to each other you both be sisters forever right
bond know the truth , tell

and if the parent weak good let them show thier weakness. show why it happen let them show or prove who they are why this happen give them the chance to tell too , maybe they didnt know
or maybe they didnt care then you will know

it shouldnt have happen
and well where were they

i am not saying if they knew or suspected maybe it would have stopped it, legal weak too
but at least you find out who your friends are and allow parents to see who they really are

who you can trust
god just the littlest thing s a good parent puts thier neck out there and ends up looking crazy to protect a child, why should your parents who didnt see signs get out of responsibility i resent that, alone why you should tell too

tell you got a witness, each other
and party life not so good i keep hearing this
divorce and singel parents very hard for life
and family too. friends yeah right i wouldnt call even refer to them as a friend of your family
you mean enemy and betrayed your mom and dad did you say the dad, friend, trust me people dont like friends that betray them . parents dont either, if they in denial later they will face it just tell.

You are young adult thinking girls /womenNow.
by: maurice

There is no need for either or both of you to be scared especially if you have loving/caring parents who love and cherish you. That molester, That sicko of a man, preying on innocent and vunerable girls. Hi you both are highly intelligent, the best of friends, sharing your secrets with each other. Be brave together now, take the courage of your knowing and convictions that this man molested you both almost in the same form. At 15/16 girls or boys ain't dumb to the facts of life. They know the workings of their bodies/their sexuality etc either from their parents or indeed each other. So you know this man took advantage of your Daddy;s friendship to do what he did. He being under the influence of alcohol doe not justify he going to your rooms and being so un-afraid by locking the door. He was not worried about your Dad/Mam finding him. That makes him a dangerous man around the beautiful and vunerable teenage girls. I was going to put innocent but I don't accept many teenagers are innocent anymore at that age. So 17 year olds young women, stand up an be counted as true and loyal friends for the safety of other vunerable girls. He is a user and an abuser that you can be sure of. He won't stop at you. Go on, sit with your mother/father which ever you know will listen in a ballanced way to your truth. Be together in the telling. Gessell needs you to re-assure he that he did wrong to you both. She will heed you, she will be a true friend and stand by you in you doing what you know to be right. If she still insists she does not want to. then stand on your own two feet and tell your parents. Be true to yourself, your family and your friends. Always believe in yourself.
