Four Arrests and 18 Felonies
Their parents were arrested and charged with so much more than we had allowed ourselves to hope for. They also incriminated 2 other people and they will be arrested immediately.
My kids are handling this so well. They are little troopers. We have had to keep things quiet with their Gparents and today was the first time they have been able to speak about what they have endured. Their Gparents were wonderfully supportive. I couldn't be more proud of how my children handled things. I know we have a long way to go and they will probably have to testify against them but they want to. They want their parents to have consequences for their actions. They feel so proud that people believe them. I saw a confidence in them that wasn't there before. They feel good b/c they know they saved other children.

Maybe the adults will talk too much and your kids won't have to testify. Glad the abusers will be doing time.

Thank goodness they finally got them! I really hope this provides the kids an opportunity to see how hard you work to protect them.

Awesome News!
Maybe these folks will wise up and take a plea so the kids won't have to testify.

She confessed and through him under the bus. She admitted to so much more than the kids had that the detective was surprised. There will be more arrests today b/c she also incriminated others.
The kids are doing great. They feel sad for their mother but are very angry at their father. The are so glad that every one knows the truth.

I'm really glad the abusers are facing jail time. So many of our kids never see justice for what was done to them. Blessings to you and your family in this hard time.

oh tudu, what a great relief this must be to all of you! With her full confession, will the kids still have to testify? I am praying the answer to that is no... unless it is something that the kids need to do for themselves. Sometimes it is good for them to testify.. a chance for them to see that they are being heard. I know that God's will make sure that it will all be for the good, whether they testify or not.
