To be clear, they tried to save me from the time I was born. The system is just fucked up and it's almost impossible to take kids away from their parents. until they're dead, basically. That's what happens most of the time, or so it seems.

Nonetheless, we told my grandparents. My grandparents did try to fix the problem. It was swept under the rug, which is very common. You report it, and then they say that didn't happen here. My kid didn't do that or whatever. And I don't even blame that kid. I'm not mad at that kid for what happened.

There's usually one reason why a kid is touching a kid, and it's probably because he was touched or he was exposed to it in some form or fashion. Turns out, you know, 20 years later, that kid went to prison for raping the girl next door, unfortunately, you know, and a whole lot to that too.

When I reported, we were still sent back to that house to be babysat by them. Still lived with those people from time to time. The abuse I don't think continued. I don't have any memories.
