I hope this isn't too heavy for this board. Just over two years ago my daughter, who is now 31, told me and my son - her brother - that she was sexually abused by my ex-wife's partner while they lived together, when she was nine and ten years old. She told her mother a couple of days later, she's still with the partner. My daughter doesn't want to report it to the police.
My daughter also told us that during the time the abuse was going on she wrote a letter about the abuse to a school friend but didn't send it, she put it in the bin, her mother found it and asked whether it was true - my daughter said no.
I'd hoped by now my daughter would've changed her mind and report it to the police, but no.
I wrote to the partner by recorded delivery at the end of April and accused him outright of the abuse and suggested he sue me for libel, I've heard nothing.
I'd welcome any comments or ideas,
