I was told a shocking story by my doctor friend today:

A 2-year-old boy was brought by his mother to the hospital in severe pains with bruises all over his penis. He was reportedly sexually assaulted by a house-help, a 13-year-old girl, who looks after him when his mom is away.

The house-help would fiddle with this little boy's penis, then use it to rub on her genitals for several minutes especially when the boy's mother is not around.

The girl confessed that the act has been going on for the past 3 months even though the boy's mom was not aware.

She started using the little boy to satisfy her sexual desire since their school went on vacation & she couldn't access her main partner, a 6-year-old boy whom she usually bribes with Capri-Sun drink to engage in sexual acts with her at their school backyard during break time.

On examining the boy, the doctor noticed a small tear around the child's penile cap (prepuce) with old & new scars around his genitals.

My friend the doctor started wondering why even the old scars from bruises haven't been previously noticed by anyone including the boy's mom.

They've since done the necessary tests, instituted treatment for the innocent boy, and are following up the case as per their hospital protocol.

But I'm sharing this story to alert parents to be careful with the kind of maids or house-helps they leave their kids with.

Children that are sexually molested or assaulted tend to grow up with lots of emotional injuries, some of which even time can't heal.

So be careful who is babysitting your child when you're away. A lot can happen to your child in your absence.
