Going back to a time after you were hurt, (assuming you were a younger child) what would be the ideal way for someone else who found out about your abuse help you with the situation?
Even if it was too hard to face the reallity of what happened, I personally would have wanted someone to help me through the situation. It would have saved a lot of heartache and confusion through some of my more influential years.
I found out about a younger freind that coincidentaly is the same age I was at the time of my abuse. I heard that nobody did anything about his situation. (Still sees his abuser on a regular basis) I definatly want to help, but not sure how because he's at a fragile state right now I'm sure.(9)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I just want to approach the little guy in the absolute best way possible.
Because dam, we all know how shitty it is to be there.
If this is correct then without exception you need to report this. What is the best way. Not knowing the parties involve the way I would handle this and i have several times. (You can read on one detailed account in my journal under confusing day). May not be the best way for you. So i will leave it to your judgement to decide what is best for the child.
If you are close to the child and the family you need to make a choice to decide if you are confident enough in your relationship with the parents to approach them and discuss it with them. But believe me when i say this could end any good relationship with them or it may not. Keeping in mind what you have said i can say the safe play is to involve social services and in most states it is mandatory for an immediate investigation. I don't know of any Social services where you can't remain completely annomous (In not sure about that if it goes to court)
If you are not close to the child then the only thing to do is to involve social services or the police.
I was a first responder in another state so I know what I am talking about.
It sounds like you are doing a good job in exploring your options first and asking for advice.
I want to applaud you for your courage and wisdom. It sounds like it is up to you.
but you sound more than up for it.
I was eight and it went on for ten years. All i wanted was for some one anyone help end the abuse. How that happened didn't matter to me.
that was all i wanted.
There may be better ways to handle this but none of them will be good except for the nine year old.
good luck
at my releif I found out last night that my little buddy's case is set for court next month. The authorities WERE allerted to his situaton.
(I know him through my girlfreind, and yes she knows the same happened to me)
I was pissed at my girlfreind for "forgetting" to tell me about that "part"
I was freaked out and wanted to rush to his aid.
WTF????
now all I need to do is comfort him and make sure he doesn't absorb the guilt and shame. and whatever else he might need me to assist with.
