I read this touching story on my whatsapp and I felt I should share it. Here is the story of a girl who shared her story online about how her uncle sexually abused her at the age of 14. Read her story:

I was 14 years old when my uncle deflowered me, right in my father’s house, under my parents’ nose. But because they (my parents) trusted him and it would be my word against his, I could not tell anyone; and, of course, he warned me that if I told anyone, he would deny it and deal with me. I am a final year student in one of the federal universities. This incident happened when I was in Senior Secondary School (High School) year 2. I wasn’t really mature for my age; I was on the small side, but I had developed a woman’s body. My paternal uncle, my grandmother’s last born, then a youth corps member was posted to serve his fatherland where we were staying then, of course, it was natural for him to stay with us.

He was a good uncle and very friendly with us. I am the last of my parents’ three children. My elder ones (both boys) were away in school leaving our housemaid and me in the house. Initially, my incle was nice and he was just a normal uncle everyone would wish for. After about a month or so, he came to stay with us, he started behaving funny towards me. He would touch my bum, and sometimes he would pretend it was a mistake, then, he would touch my breasts. Then, I really didn’t know how to place his behavior. In my mind, I would wonder if it was a mistake or he was doing it deliberately.

Because I couldn’t really say I was scared to discuss it with anybody, not even with our housemaid, then, because we were a little close, I made up my mind to avoid him. I guess I over did it because everybody noticed this. My parents mistook my attitude for pranks and they would scold whenever he reported me. On a day, I told my mother that I didn’t like how my uncle used to touch me. I didn’t know what really got into her, but she scolded me not to say such a thing again. She reminded me that the person I spoke about was my dad’s younger brother. I had no choice, my situation then was between the devil and the deep blue sea.

My parents had to travel to daddy’s hometown for a burial. We were all supposed to go together, but my parents decided that our housemaid and should stay back home. I pleaded with them to take me, but I was not lucky. In fact, dad would have conceded but my mom refused. It happened the next day. I was sleeping in my room, in the evening which I shared with our housemaid, but it was later that I learned that my uncle had sent her on an errand that kept her away and gave him enough time to perpetrate his evil deed. I felt a hand on my body. I opened my eyes and saw my uncle trying to force my jeans trousers off. I tried to scream, but he had covered my mouth with his palm.

In short, my uncle raped me and deflowered me at 14. He asked me to clean up when he was done with me. He took my underwear and burnt it in my presence. He threatened to kill me if I ever told anyone. He tried to rape me again several times after that first experience, but I always carried my elder brother’s boy’s scout pen knife about and I vowed that I would kill him if ever got near me again. I wasn’t too sure if it was my threat or the fact that he was having sex with our 16-year old house maid that kept him away from me, because he had to leave our house when mummy discovered that our housemaid was pregnant, and she said my uncle was responsible for her pregnancy. It was then that my mother raised her voice that I had reported him to her before. She stupidly thanked God that my uncle did not touch me. How wrong? I did not correct her because it was rather too late. How I wished she had listened to me then! I would have been saved from these private pains.

How I wish, mothers, especially, should learn to listen to their children and not shut them down anytime they try and speak with me.

I started fvcking at 11

I was abused too

Sexual abuse feels more painful and affects more when there's no one to talk to.

Condolences to everyone out there, male or female who have ever been molested.

parent let communication be a guide to your children most importantly girls, and parent should be mindful of how their children (girl) sit on the body of the so called uncle. My Uncle, my uncle has done alot of horrible things to children this days

Some perverts can't really control themselves,i was never abused but I remember in SS2 my geography teacher touched my boobs and pretended it was a mistake.I reported to my parents immediately,and because I was a scholarship student the matter was escalated .After proper investigation it was discovered that he had molested smaller gals in Jss 1-3 who were scared to talk. He was sacked immediately. Till today when I go home on holiday to see my parents I see him jumping from bus to bus, always ashamed when he sees me. Say no to molesters, always report to those who would listen to you.

I pray to bring up very truthful children....

If my child says she doesn't like you,...... I will beg you to give her space or else I will call police for you... Be you uncle or teacher..
If my child acts too attached/withdrawn around you, I will make my ears and tentacles active around you

Cutehector:
u will make heaven... Amen

AMEN!

I once took a distant cousin in but found a way of sending him out of my home after I discovered he was looking at my 12 & 14 years daughters lustfully. My girls kuku carry for back They look matured. We can't be too careful

Wise decision. I wish more mothers will be as cautious with their girl children.
Imagine one so called company executive where I stay leaving her 6 year old with security men to look after when the bus drops her from school, before she returns from work. She is a single mother.

I had to go and sit her down to warn her that she is playing with fire. They will use her little daughter as a play thing. And the small girl is so smart and wise. Always very inquisitive and very social.

Was it willingly or forced?
I doubt you would start experimenting on your own at that age

Good one. That is how to play it.

Keep an eagle eye on your kids. Some women are so careless with their kids, they should be flogged by Shekau

Your mother is very stupid. Outside of the wickedness of your uncle of course which is glaring, your mother is stupid .

Ok
