That makes me sad.
We need a sad rating, oh well. I'll just have to use the heart.
[QUOTE=BigOwl;28311451]That fucking blows.
What the fuck why is this funny or zingworthy?
I hate all of you.[/QUOTE]
Because it must have been a shocking experience.
If you post her full name and where you used to live, then facepunch may be able to find her.

I really don't think this is information that the OP would freely give out. It's a bit personal. Maybe give it to a mod to post in the GMF? The information will not get spread then.
Don't be too hard on yourself, people that young usually can't even get their head around molestation so it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference whoever she talked to, as long as they were the same age.
What a touching story ;(
Not really your fault, you shouldn't blame yourself.
Made me think of the Forrest Gump/Jenny situation. Only real.
Which is incredibly sad.
Have you ever found a way to contact her?
brb depression and deep regrets from my own past.
The saddest part about this is how often this happens.
This story reminds me of Forrest Gump.

[QUOTE=Keeshond v2;28311417]that sucks dude.
I could have stopped a fifteen year old girl from being abducted and raped but i didn't, called the police instead. they got the fuckers, they were planning to murder her but they'd already raped her in the back seat of the car.
i regret not crossing the road and giving them brain damage every day[/QUOTE]
You could have been killed your self you did the right thing by calling the police otherwise it could have been so much worse if you went up to there, you did the right thing. Don't blame your self
You should go on a self destructive cycle of drinking and self loathing, until finally the chief tells you to hand in your gun and badge than you can go rouge and finally nab the bastard responsible for raping that little girl and killing your partner once and for all.

Damn dude. It really wasn't your fault, you didn't understand about what was going on at that age. You already did good by being friends with her. Don't worry man, I hope you two get to see each other again. The story made me break a manly tear :(
[QUOTE=FuhFuhFresh;28311322]This is a very sad story, Facepunch, and I'd like to share it with you. And yes, this all actually happened.
Way back when I was 6, my parents split up and my mom took me to a new neighbourhood, far away from the houses of the other kids I used to play with. As soon as I could go outside by myself while people were moving furnature into the empty house, I wandered around the street to knock on people's doors and see if they had kids. The house accross from mine, 411, (I was 413) was answered by a girl my age, named Sophie, and her very large father right behind her. My Sisters secretly referred to him as "Fat Tony". I just called him "Sophie's Dad".
I got to know Sophie very well. Until I went into Grade 1 after the summer, she was my only friend. I often went into her backyard to play on the giant wooden junglejim that came with the house, and she often came over to my house to lie on the grass of one of the yards "with flat grass instead of itchy". I still think that she meant that my lawn was mowed and hers never was, but I'll never know for sure. Whenever my mom jokingly asked Sophie if she had a boyfriend, she would nod and point at me.
When I was 8, I started to see Sophie much less often. Nobody would ever answer the door and she never really stopped by my house. I went to a French Immersion school and she went to an English Christian school, so I never saw her at school either. This went on for two months, until she knocked on my bedroom window really late at night. You could get to my window by piling things up to get on the section of roof near it, and that's what she apparently did. She started crying, telling me her dad was doing weird things to her. I didn't know what she meant, and then I heard the doorbeel ring.
Fat Tony was looking for Sophie, because she apparently "went missing". I heard their discussion from donwstairs, and as my parents were coming upstairs to ask me, Sophie had already run off when she heard Fat Tony's voice. I shut the window and crawled back into bed as my parents came into the room. They flicked on the light and I put on my best "I'm sleepy don't wake me" impression before my parents asked me, [I]very seriously[/I], if I had seen Sophie. I shook my head no.
I only saw Sophie again when I was 12. I was walking home from school when I saw her packing things into a car with a woman I'd never seen before. I asked her where her dad was, and she said he was at the police station. Thinking that she was despressed, I sort of just said "oh" and turned away awkwardly, knowing I wasn't the greatest at comforting her in [I]really[/I] serious times. The next day I never saw her, but a moving van packing things was in her driveway the entire time. I never saw a trace of her since, and I've looked for her on things like facebook, myspace, other sites like that.
I'm 17 now. A few hours ago, I got home and started working on my "1000 word life story" for my Writerscraft class. As I filled in the lines, mentioning several times that Sophie was a big part of my childhood, I connected all the dots together which made the seemingly implied to somebody older than me obvious now:
Sophie was being molested by her Dad for a long period of time, and when she went to my window, she was trying to explain this to me. She didn't have enough time before tony knocked on the door looking for her. If I had told my parents that I had seen her just a moment ago, they would have easily found her in the backyard. Instead, it ended up with Tony finding Sophie and threatening Physical violence on her if she should ever mention it again. This went on for 4 years until somebody found out, Tony went to Jail and Sophie moved far, far away to where I would lose all contact with her.
TL;DR - Thread Title.

Dude, as horrible as that is, you weren't to know. You were young and she would have been too confused also, to tell you straight what was happening. It was okay in the end, he was punished for it, and she's safe now.
There's not a lot you could've done anyway, being so young, unfortunately people aren't likely to believe you. That's sorta the rules. :\
It's sad but this stuff happens all the time, and 99% of the time, no one is aware.
Don't get too down on yourself buddy, it happened. People have to move on.
People who "funny" or "zing" rated this story deserve to be molested themselves.
butterfly effect
After I read this, I was full of rage. OP, we need to disguise ourselves as prison guards, sneak in and rip Fat Tony's sack open with a shank.

jennnnaaay, but i love you jennnaaayy
Try finding her on facebook, maybe you could get contact with her again..
You're joining dots that aren't there. Drop it, FuhFuhFresh: It's in the past.

What the hell :v:
That shit sucks. Just in case you do find her, be aware that'll she'll probably be very different than you remember. Shit like that does that to people. I know a girl who was raped for years, she was the happiest girl I knew before it all started.
Then she went to some psychiatric clinic. Multiple times. She cut(s?) herself and whenever I saw her smile I could feel it was never sincere. It's like she was incapable of being remotely happy about life and herself (which I can understand). Right now she's with some Bulgarian guy god knows where, I haven't had any contact for more than a year. I don't think her parents know where she is either. Every time I think about her, I'm worried sick.
I wish you the best of luck.

Kinda explains it for me.blame religion,not yourself
Really sorry about what happened to ya,its not yer fault as i said already
[QUOTE=Binladen34;28311645]That story broke my heart and made me cry. I'm so sorry for you, and for her. Words cannot accurately describe how I feel.[/QUOTE]
Are you by any chance gay? Just wondering.
I need time travel, NOW!!!
But now seriously, I know how you feel, I had those ~what if~ moments (I am sure we all do) but we didn't acted in a right moment because we were young and didn't knew everything what is going on in the world, confused etc. With time we live and learn, we improve... the best way is if you make one mistake don't make it twice that is the right formula.
You don't have to blame your self over this, you didn't even had the time or ability to act against that, it all happened fast and later on as you said she was silenced to not talk about it etc. Don't worry she still remembers you and will be happy to find you. You have to be patient too and you will find her, you'll see. Good things take time.

I don't get it, she was a little kid. Because of her religion she got raped? Christian parents are rapists? I don't understand what religion has to do with any of it.
