you should be scared! that is very creepy. i would say just dont be alone with him and you will be ok. your sister probly feels more awkward than you do so maybe you should talk to her about it and tell her the same. Hope i helped

Hi again,
Thank you for writing me back with more information. I got the impression that your parents don't know about what your grandpa did. Again, I cannot stress enough the importance of telling them as soon as possible. My best guess is that your parents will want to protect all of you. If nobody tells on your grandpa then he will actually be the person who is getting protected. How backward is that? As I said earlier, typically sex offenders will do it again. It is especially imortant that he not be around any of you as one of you is only 3 and is not able to protect herself; this is the age your other sister was when he abused her.
If for some reason, you do not feel safe telling your parents then I would suggest that you and your sister tell another adult, preferably a trusted family member or school counsellor. You can always call your local police and ask them for the number of Child Protective Services in your area.
I so hope that you open up this family secret so you and your sisters get the protection you deserve. You are all too young to be dealing with this on your own. It is also my belief that by exposing your Grandpa, you will be helping to keep other girls(including your baby sister) safe in the future.
Again, feel free to keep me posted.
You didn't say how you heard about what your grandpa did but if you are unsure of the accuracy, please dig further(I suggest talking to your sister yourslef if you havn't yet, unless she is still little).
I am also not sure if you have talked to your parents about this or if they know. If not, it is very important that you go to them immediately. Under no circumstances should your grandpa have access to your sister or you or any other child, in my opinion. Unfortunaltey, these kinds of people tend to repeat their actions and it is far too risky for children to be exposed to them.
I sincerely hope that your parents will do the right thing for your family and press charges against your grandpa, if they haven't done so yet. You and your sister should not be living in fear over this; you deserve to be protected. It is also my sincere hope that your sister has received some type of tramau concelling to help her deal with all of this.
If the above measures have not been taken, perhaps, you could show this email to your parents. I work with children in my job and am familiar with how damaging sexual abuse can be to the lives of children.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Please feel free to write me back.

I am so sorry to hear what your Grandfather did to your sister. You need to protect yourself and your sister from this ever happening again.
However, to do this you must tell an adult that you trust. If you feel that you cannot tell either of your parents then you must find an aunty/uncle/friend/teacher that you trust and you have to tell them.
This will not be easy but it must be done because he cannot be allowed to sexually harass any child. If you live in the UK give Childline a call on 0800 1111 (it is a freephone number) and they will be able to help you through this. If you live anywhere else you need to find a similar helpline.
I don't know how old you are so I am guessing that you are still quite young. There are a lot of people out there trained to help you and your sister through this. I hope that it all goes well with you and wish you both a better, safer future.
