if you don't know her...or have never talked to her. I'd take what she says with a grain of salt *Sorry if that sounds cruel* as you don't know if she is infact...just a liar....and doing it for the attention.  |

If the story's true, try convincing her that she should do what you suggested. But if she makes excuses for everything like she does, then it makes the story seem fishy. It doesn't seem right. I kinda got the feeling that she's somewhat of a liar. I don't know, though. Good luck. : )  |

The fact that she tells of how it got to the church, then CPA, and went into great detail about her mother's fear and how it would effect the family, I would say she is telling the truth. There are so many fears attached to this sort of thing. I know, because a close family member went through this with another family member. She is expressing the same hesitancy to do something because of her family's finding out she is taking measures to affirm it happened. But there is just so much you can do from the internet. In fact you did as much as you can do, and you did a fantastic job!!!  |

the waffling is probably fear. everyone she knows is against her right now. she should be removed from the home. this scenario is far too common  |

The courts would not leave this up to her. After investigation, if the father is found guilty he would be charged and not allowed to return home or the girl would be removed. In Ohio this is exactly what would would happen. Also the mother could possibly face charges of negligence.  |

this would be hard to deal with becuase everything is so hazy due to it being over the net and all. If this is really going to eat at your consience, Ill try and help you. its sounds like this girl has been brainwashed. Her abilty to think cleary has been stunted through emotional trauma gained through her experiances and also from underneith the influence of her Family. She is either very brainwashed or basically making a very creative convo on the net. Everyone lies on the net, wiether to create boarders around themselfs or to create storys like that. I would think about how she approached you, and wiether to you it seemed realistic or not. Who really knows, and by the sound of it, you have done all thats in your power, considering it was over the net and you do not know this girl  |
