Damn, I hope that gal and your sanity is okay... so any other follow ups from the police? What state if you don’t mind me asking? Im just gonna throw out Florida or South Carolina. Wow, It took them an hour to get dispatched? Man....

Sadly, this is in Northern California.. I didn't get a follow up but I overheard the cop talking to the girl saying her brother will get help.

This is heartbreaking all around and would haunt anyone who had to witness it but at least you were able to interfere with it continuing and stand up for her, I'm sure that means so much to her and will help with her recovery.

I hope so, she was crying and worried about her brother. She was afraid of being in trouble but I forgot to add that she told my mom they did this a lot.

Completely understand that it's haunting you. In my job I had contact with a little girl who was raped by her brother too. It's heartbreaking, even more, when the mother tells you 'it's all normal' because she experienced the same as child. This still haunts me. Have you talked to someone professional about it?

No, I haven't contacted my therapist about it..but I should. I tried putting it behind me because I wasn't the victim

Nevertheless it's very traumatic what you experienced and therefore it would be good you talk about it. That's really something that can't be left behind that easily :/ wish you all the best!
