Hi. My names Kylie and this is my situation. I live with my older sister because my dad left and my mom died when I was born. I'm 13 and she’s 29. Anyways when I was 4 one of her friends was watching me while she went out and he was touching me sexually. I didn’t tell her and the next time he babysat me he did it again. He did it 4 different times that I can remember. Anyways I never told my sister about it. And they’re still really good friends today. He comes all the time so I see him a lot. And I feel really awkward around him. What I'm wondering is should I tell my sister about it? I don’t know if shed believe me and if she did I don’t know if shed do anything about it. I know its sexual abuse but can he actually get in trouble for it? Like since it happened a long time ago?
Please reply. I really don’t know what to do here.
Please email me if you think you can help.

I'm very sorry to hear you are going through this. This is a very serious situation, and right now you really need some support. It's going to be scary, but you should tell your sister what happened. What you do next depends on how your sister responds to what you tell her. She should support you, get you into therapy and call the police. If she does not do this, then, please, seek out some help at school. Is there a teacher you trust? If there is not a teacher you trust to tell everything about what is going on, then at least tell one of your teachers that you need help from a counselor. There are people who want to help you-- it is their job to help you.
Yes, your sister's friend is going to get in trouble. What he has done to you is very wrong, and he needs to be stopped. Please keep in mind that you may not be the only person he has abused. Someone needs to stop him.
Most importantly, please realize that you need help. If your sister won't help you, then find a professional who will.
