It goes on to allege that the man told her to hang herself after she asked him to ‘stop being so perverted in front of my younger siblings.’
Sounds like there was more going on behind the scenes... most abusers are like this... they use fear and intimidation to manipulate little kids because they know they cant fight back..
Both of my daughters years ago, just a bit older than this girl, acted out due to anxiety and depression. Including claiming rape. We took it very seriously, police and everything. Turns out the daughter that claimed rape made it up. Years later they (and mom and I) are still dealing with whatever is a bit off in their heads.
But thankfully, due to a lot of effort on their part, they are doing a lot better. I feel bad for kids that think their only way out is suicide. I’ve dealt with those feelings myself when I was younger. I’m not sure at such a young age they can comprehend the loss that they are to the world.
And as adults, I know that we don’t always realize the impact that we have on kids. But, for an adult to tell a child to “go hang yourself” is nuts. (Granted, I’ve said stuff to my kids that I regret - but nothing like that.)
