I am so sorry you are having to live the nightmare. I am even MORE sorry that your son had to live his own nightmare....and continues to re-live it. He needs to see a therapist to talk to about this.

You must report it. I would suggest you call the hotline directly rather than have the CW do it. That is what I had to do with my FS. I told CW and therapist, but since I was the one who the child opened up and told the story to, they all recommended that I call. We did get a call from the local dept of Crimes Against Children and he went to the police dept to give his "statement". I requested a female (as his perp was male) and I requested it be a plain clothed person (as he was afraid of law enforcement due to the drug environment he was raised in).

Unfortunately, it is NOT rare for a female to abuse her son. Some of the most bizarre abuse stories I have heard were this way. And in this case, as in most, since she was abused herself that may be the way she was "taught" to discipline. Her abuse history does not make her any less accountable for abusing others.

You need to report so that you can live with yourself and he needs to talk to someone who can make him believe that nothing he did warranted that type of discipline and that he did nothing to cause this and that it was wrong and mothers are NOT supposed to behave that way.

Good Luck and I hope your son's allegations are found to be substantiated so that something can be done as was in our case.
