Thank you to whoever believed this child and reported this travesty to the authorities. Hopefully, the judicial system can do more than a slap on the wrist.
This 11 year old child will need a lot of support and love to overcome this abuse and having the perpetrator arrested is a good start.
These people are destined for hell, head first forever. Please Lord, keep these demons away from our precious children.
