Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault

We have horrendous neighbors. CPS has been involved for some time now, because we know because hear them fighting at 3 am about it…but nothing has come of it. Also, the older boys aren’t in school and they’ve come to my door around noon and told me it’s being investigated and the school will let them know when they can attend.

My daughter told us that the 9 year old boy asked her to “Lift her shirt up slowly for him.”

How do I explain what happened? She’s not comprehending. She wants to play and kids don’t play like they use to in the 80s,90s, and 2000s. So many parents seem too busy now. A few school kids have told us they’ve never had a play date with friends before, they’ve only gone to birthday parties.

The neighbor boy happily watches gay cartoon porn and he’s only 9. We’ve told his parents. They don’t supervise him at all. I think he might be on the spectrum. His younger brother is aware that’s strange behavior. But the 9 year old told us all about the stuff he loves to watch when we first met him. I told him it wasn’t healthy to watch that type of material. He didn’t care because he loved it…. He also loves playing TEMU games… which aren’t actually games… somewhat like gambling slot machine type “games”. I don’t want to parent all of them.

I don’t allow my daughter to play with these kids without supervision. She was only allowed to play with the youngest which is a little 4 year old girl in our house or outside in our yard.

Their parents neglect them so badly that my husband and I felt the need to feed these kids some nights. It got to a point where we had to tell the kids to go home, because we’ve literally fed them every night for two weeks straight.

Eventually, the boys moved away to live with their biological dad and grandma until recently when they allegedly almost burned the house down. I’m assuming that’s when this “lift your shirt for me slowly.” Situation happened…. Because I wouldn’t have let them play together. The boys weren’t supposed to be back. The kids were all together on my front porch making sexual sounds and we had to stop them from playing again. Omg…

My daughter has been crying for a few days and now she’s shutting down and not talking to us. I figure we’ll try to ride it out and let her process the way she needs to. I feel I need to go more in depth to address the severity of the situation, but I haven’t been able to find the correct material.

I’m pregnant and stressed out by their shit. Advice please. I’m contacting CPS as soon as they open tomorrow. Any one have other steps I should take?
