Question
How can I report a child molester? He is my father. My mother is really sick and could die with the impact of that news. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid. I'm 35 years old. I just found out a my little 9-ear-old niece was touched by this man, called my dad.
Answer
I am so sorry. It is always best not to play detective, but pass the information to a mandatory reporter, like your niece's teacher, doctor, or therapist. RAINN will be able to help you find support for your niece, which is the most important thing: http://www.rainn.org/
