I don't know if anybody can help.
But two years ago, on my 14th bday, I was raped by a guy. He told me to go to his house because he had a gift for me, so we did, and he did it.
I never turned the guy in. I was so scared. He threatened me. And I just wanted to forget about. I told my mom about it just a month ago, and she decided I might need counseling because of the sexual abuse from this guy and because of my father abusing me. She promised to respect my decision to not tell anybody about the rape.
I had to see a counselor about it a couple weeks ago. He told me that EVERYTHING i told him about any abuse was confidential, and assured me he couldn't release anything to the police unless I signed consent forms after the session. I never signed forms. And I told him everything that happened. I didn't tell him the guys last name.
But now he's turning the rape in. He is trying to get my mom and my best friend to give up this guys name. But they won't.
I just want to know....when the police and DCFS come to talk to me, am I going to be in trouble? Becuase I'm not going to talk. I've made up my mind, and I just don't want to deal with it. If they threaten to take my mom to jail if she doesn't give up a name, I'm going to lie and say I made everything up.
I know the right thing to do would be to turn him in so that he doesn't hurt another girl. But you have no idea how afraid I am. I've made a decision; and that is to not turn him in. I may seem weak and stupid...but I can't bring myself to testifying in court or anything...
So if you could just help with my question...Will my mom be in trouble? And am I going to get in trouble?
Can my counselor get in trouble for lying to me and saying that everything was confidential? He tricked me..
