MARION, Ind. (WISH) – The grandmother of a young girl who was molested and impregnated in Marion says the man charged with the crime was someone they trusted.
34-year-old Nicholas Deon Thrash is facing 10 counts of child molestation.
“He’s not type of person that you’d think would do something like this,” said the grandmother.
She said she met Thrash multiple times.
“We invited him into our home. He helped my husband all he could,” said the grandmother.
Now Thrash is behind bars, and family says the young girl is 20 weeks pregnant.
“Now her whole life has changed. … She’s scared being this far along and having to carry this baby,” said the grandmother.
Family members are caring for the girl while her mother is in jail. They said it’s heartbreaking watching someone so young go through this.
“She came out and asked, ‘Can I get my Barbies?’ I said, ‘Of course you can.’ She is still a little girl that wants to play that has to grow up overnight,” said the grandmother.
It’s something that’s not easy for her to talk about, but she said she is hoping this will inspire other parents to talk with their children, possibly preventing something like this from happening to another child.
“Teach your kids to have enough trust in you to come to you and say ‘This is wrong, help,'” said the grandmother.
Sandy Runkle, director of Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, said having those conversations with your kids is important. She said parents should also be cautious of adults who want to spend too much alone time with a certain child.
Runkle said about 90 percent of the time the abuser is someone the child knows and trusts.
The grandmother said Thrash was someone they trusted.
“I hope he gets what’s coming to him. He’s got to pay for this,” said the grandmother.
The family is now asking for help getting maternity clothes for that young girl. They say she is a size small.
As soon as we learn more information about how you can help, we will post that here on our website. The family says they are not sure yet if they will give the baby up for adoption.
Its possible the little girl is white...
When I was 11 I was mistaken for at least 16, people asked me for help in stores thinking I was a clerk. At 16 they thought I was 20+. At 24 they thought I was a student while subbing at an all girl Catholic high school.
NOW I certainly look my age. LOL
She was 5 raped by a soldier...
my mother said they put a photo in the newspaper of the wee girl and her baby ...
WRONG!
One look and it's plain to see that he is exactly that type of person.
If there is one thing I have learned about caring for my children, it’s not to give unrelated males unsupervised “alone time” with my children.
Amen!
Turn him loose.
Just announce ahead of time when and where and paint a target on his back.
Reminds me of this story..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPe7TcELE4M
He’s black, therefore, not guilty.
Or,
He had bad parenting, and could not understand right from wrong.
Or,
It wasn’t his fault; the girl didn’t stop him.
Why didn’t the girl tell?
Maybe she did but wasn’t believed.
It says the mother is in jail. In another article here http://fox59.com/2017/05/17/marion-police-search-for-man-accused-of-child-molesting-impregnating-10-year-old-girl/ it says the mother was arrested on two counts of felony neglect of a dependent.
Yeah the Virgin Mary was a slightly special case.
It’s to wait till 18 or older.
Today’s teens are not the teens of 2000 years ago.
They are children today.
Probably in her teens. Girls experience menarche at much younger ages today.
Grandma is white.
The perp was mom’s live-in boyfriend.
Mom’s in jail for not preventing the crime.
Video at link tells the tale.
