That's heartbreaking. I really hope it's not true, but if it is, I hope Nephew and his (non-molesting) parents get all the support they need.
And ignore this if it's not helpful to you right now, but, while I can only speak for myself (although I assume a number of us have gone through it), I just want to say that it's possible to be molested as a child and grow up to be a perfectly healthy adult who mostly remembers the good people who believed and supported you. (This in no way excuses the asshole douchecanoe scum that laid a finger on that baby, ftr.)
That poor baby. I hope it's not true. In the event that it is, I hope he is safe with his parents (or parent if the other is guilty of the crime) and he has a safe and secure and happy childhood to negate this.
Thank you so much everyone for the kind words. It has been so hard not being able to talk about this the past few days. It felt good to get it out.
Police were called and they will send detectives to begin the process within 2 days. Nephew is safe. The alleged family member is out of town for school.
I live out of state so there isn't much I can do right now except wait for updates.
