The ordeal of the two little girls from Sans Souci, Wakenaam, who were sexually abused by their father, is not over as yet but perhaps the worst is past.
According to Director of the Child Care and Protection Agency, Ann Greene, the two girls aged 11 and 14 are still undergoing medical evaluations to ascertain their state of physical health since it was explained that their father was having unprotected sex with them.
She noted that from current indications the younger sibling who has reportedly been suffering at the hands of her abuser from the tender age of seven has been hurt to a greater extent, physically.
Their mental anguish, Greene pointed out, will be even harder to treat and heal. Psychological evaluations will follow the medical checkups but for now the girls are in state care here in Georgetown and they are responding well to counseling she says.
Green doubted that the state will see the girls ever returning to the care of their mother and father since reports indicate that not only has their father been abusing them for some three years but he has done so with the knowledge of their mother.
Police sources in the district say that on July 6, the matter was brought to their attention and both parents were brought in for questioning but that the mother was immediately released while the father was placed on station bail.
There are reports in the media that indicate the children were rescued from their school last Wednesday when Probation Officers responded to the reports after the girls confided in a friend.
Greene revealed that the girls may remain in state care at least until the matter comes up in court however as living permanently in a state institution is seen only as a last resort, the agency is seeking relatives or family who can eventually take custody of the girls.
Meanwhile the police are also on the hunt for a man who reportedly sexually molested a 12 year old at Wakapau on July 3. It was reported that the young lady went to the residence of the man’s sister to assist her in the preparation of icicles one afternoon when the incident occurred.
Her mother subsequently observed that she was acting oddly and questioned the girl as to the reason for her discomfort and learnt the details of the incident.
Her mother immediately reported the matter to the police but they were unable to apprehend the man.
