What would you do? (Possible trigger - rape)

Ri

I have a question for you ladies. I’m curious as to what you would do as a parent in this situation.

You have multiple children. One of the Males is about 27, married with a small baby. One of the girls just turned 14. She stays the night at his house and a few weeks later you find out that he raped her that night. With his family in the house and everything.

What do you do? She chooses to press charges and he goes to jail for a year. Do you cut him out of your life? Beat him half to death? Continue talking to him because he’s your son but at the same time keep your distance? I ask this because this happened to me when i was 14. My mom and I pressed charges and he went to jail for a year. My dad however didn’t want charges pressed and to this day, continues to talk to him like nothing happened. Goes camping with him, goes to his house, etc. He even invites him to family get together instead of me. My whole dads side of the family even sent him money weekly while he was in jail and paid his rent for him so he didn’t lose his house.

I look at it differently because it happened to me, I was the victim. I hate my dad and his family for taking his side. So I’m wondering what you would do in a situation like this with your children.

My husband thinks I’m wrong for wanting to cut my dad out of my life because he says if it was a big deal, I should have done it when I was 14, not now. I don’t doubt that my dad loves me but I can’t fathom how he looks his son in the eye like that and even allows him around his other grandkids (Not my kids) even tries to talk to me about it sometimes saying how stupid it was that he had to go through so many hoops to get off the sex offender list and all that. Hopefully I can get some replies on here and show my husband what other parents would do and I’m not crazy
