I have been in a relationship with a man for 2 1/2 years, he is manipulative and angry and twists every situation to make himself the victim. Last year I witnessed him playing with his 5 year old daughter, I was in bed and heard her laughter which woke me and his saying jump groggy jump this went on for some ten minutes, I came down to see my now ex laying on the sofa with his 5 year old straddled him bouncing on his groin and he had a full er#ction, being Not his daughters mother I felt a paralysis as to what the right course of action and response was, I went out to have a fag and calm and focus on next course of action to end the game, returned to the room and the game was ongoing, I asked his daughter to come give me a cuddle, he resisted her going but when she said she wanted to give me a cuddle he let her go and sat up slipping his er#ction between his legs. I felt relieved but since then have been cautious letting her be bathed etc by him. Thing is a few months ago I also witnessed him as his male friend changed his 1 year old nappy, jut staring unblinking at he privates, and then on their next visit took the little tot to his car to let her pretend to drive it..! I felt sick and worried for the baby girl and this as well as his daughter incident has been driving me crazy. He is obsessed with bottoms and always encourages his daughter to wriggle n 'shake her booty', it makes me uncomfortable when he strokes her leg or even kisses her neck as it seems too lingering.. Am I being paranoid, am I seeing things that aren't there?, I have split up with him because u don't feel at ease with him. Any advice would really be appreciated x

Not normal at all and for the sake of those kids report him. I'm sorry I don't know the right channels but someone at the police station should be able to give advice.
Police and dacs and jirt joint investigation response . team. I.qould report definantly
If this was me I would be telling the mother at the same time as I was leaving. Remove him from your life 100%! Then you go to police and CPS and report everything you know... please don't stay silent. Your loyalty and support should be with the child's best interests. Current partner or ex partner... whatever! You have seen things and by duty of care they need to be reported! Ohhh that little girl :-(
I hope you've told the police!
I told the babies parents and told my ex they knew and really don't know about his ex and police, he is a good dad apart from this one time I saw this, really serious allegation to throw around if it wasn't what it looked like, some sites say men have reactions with contact and yes they should remove themselves, that's the thing that didn't happen n made thus so wrong, but it's a yer ago now n how can I prove anything.. He lies and manipulates everything so much that even I have doubted events in the past even when I know happened because he did things to me like push me n then denied it to me! and then his family. But I have no doubt whatsoever that this happened as I have been upset ever since and tormented what I should do if anything, spoken to a good friend many times about this and never felt at ease with knowing and not having acted or saying anything. But as with everything I have suffered with him he will just deny and say I was lying and somehow manipulate with select texts and emails and sick recordings edited. To suit his purpose, an incident on holiday of him being verbally abusive, then edited it to make himself sound kind and caring, sick and was final straw that made me finish relationship.
I should say he has thin pj's on and she was wearing knickers and nightie
Be very clear when reporting. Say what you saw and what they were wearing but don't say "maybe it was a missunderstanding" stick to facts. And btw he wouldn't have such a hard boner from a little reaction the first tingle and a normal man would remove himself like you said. And she was bouncing on his dong not his belly sooo wrong. They don't need proof all they need is a few words from the child. She's old enough to remember at it will at least end in him never having her alone again
Serious allegation or not it needs to be reported... I would rather incorrectly report him than prolong any abuse that could be happening to the child. It can't be "nothing" if he had an erection... please push through the difficulty in this and speak up for the child involved :-(
Always trust your gut reaction, pedos rely on confusion and manipulation to get away with what they do. It couldn't possibly be what I thought it was, he's such a great guy, I must be imagining it. You felt like that for a reason, don't ignore it.
Can't sleep for worrying. About this, spoken to a friend in youth care and he also says child protection, God I'm terrified!, this is huge and so serious, can't bare this responsibility. I've seen sides of him that I would never have thought possible of the man his family and friends see. Jackie and Hyde. Need serious thought on this, do I tell the mother or go straight to police? So scared
Def tell the mother and probably she will contact CPS, but you will no doubt need to be a witness of the events. She might have had a gut reaction to things too and thought she was imagining it, this might valid her feelings also. You and the ex could work together on this.
I will happily work with his ex, she seemed like a nice woman no matter what he said about her I liked her. I have spoken to her about him last year before this daughter incident and she stated he was all of the things I had experienced when with her and wished me good luck! , he is an selfish, manipulative, victim type, lying bully.
He emotionally picks a person apart makes them doubt their own thoughts and states he knows what I said or did or felt like I don't, manipulates facts and what is fair and reasonable in a relationship, demands unconditional trust when not being trustworthy ie silent phone and expecting me to be OK with it, and when one time I demanded to see his phone he deleted things at arms length as I fought him for the phone he then handed it over, the search history had a dating site pages with women on. He worked himself up pacing and ranting denying any wrong doing saying he was looking for me! Another time over something quite minor a WhatsApp conversation he had with girl at work he got so angry, scared the life out of me, I was sat on the couch with glass of wine asking him to sit and talk calmly, he ranted and paced again working himself up, Then beat his fists into his leather bean bag and growled at me like a bear! , I went to leave and he pushed me off my feet into the sofa. I got up and reflex hit him back and went to leave again and he shoved me backward in the shoulders several times. I did leave eventually but we got back together. It's been a very turbulent relationship that showed very early on for no reasonable justification at all,restaurant misunderstanding who was paying, apologies and blaming a past experience got him thru that one, it's always someone or some thing else's fault. He is a clever manipulator, this isn't going to be easy.. But I will speak out.. I love his kids and have a duty to them, he does emotionally pick on his son at times and I feel sorry for him. This has to stop. Thanks for your help, I will keep in touch x
I mean work with his ex, the mother of the daughter being abused in your story, NOT HIM!!
Yes sorry I miss read. The first time so edited it, I will speak to her but from my experience she is the 'busy busy haven't got time' works full time High pressure job, she doesn't set great standards ie had 4boyfriends the kids have met all of in the last year, some the kids have said have walked bout naked as daughter said she saw #s willy when he went to the bathroom. It's just a worry that she won't deal with it properly or ask the daughter the right questions, clearly ex is going to have spoken to his daughter as his friends I wrote to will have told him I wrote them a poisonous lying letter. He will have primed and prepared his daughter by now and wiped any content on his pc and phone, wish now ide said nothing to his friends, but I feared for their baby girl and she is too young to speak if something did happen. I am thinking police.. This isn't My fault, but if I'm going to do it I need to hand it to someone who will deal with it fully. Friends was clearly a mistake and I don't want another by telling his ex n her doing nothing
Most of that behaviour is called gas lighting.
OMG!!!, that is exactly what he does, just looked up what is gaslighting never heard of the phrase before but yes that is exactly what he does and has done, why?, I don't get it
Most of that behaviour is called gas lighting.
I'm super shocked by this.... wasn't it obviously abuse when it happened? It seems you were completely sure at the time. Please report this immediately. If he hasn't already he will rape her or another poor child. You're probably the only one who can step up and do something about this by reporting it.
Make sure her mother knows asap so she can stop further visitation.
I wish I had said and acted at the time!, I was being abused myself by him and only now feel able to stand and face him and what he has done. Also hearing that edited abuse audio he has had for a year!, sitting there in a pc I have used freely to make cds.., guess I saw the true depth of his depravity and that triggered the fear for what else he may be successfully concealing from the world. It was a no where to hide or deny situation that he was sinister enough to have recorded me unconscious laying in a puddle of my own urine in pain and shock and him shouting at me over and over, but to have edited it!.. made my blood run cold.
I've just been over to his ex and she already knew, he had been round crying putting on his victim act after having seen the letter I wrote his friends who have the baby girl. he has convinced his ex I am lying and she says she knows him and was married to him for 10 years. I asked if she had spoken to her daughter and asked her and she said what should I say.. She is six!, she doesn't believe me.. Now what?!
OK, so have reported to nspcc, they have taken full report and will be in touch I guess.. Out of my hands now thank the Lord.. Wish ide never met that man!thanks for your help
Hi, I am quite shaken by the suggestion of rape, I have spent time with him and his kids and I know he loves them, I think his actions were wrong on this occasion with regards his daughter but I think his love for his children Is genuine, I just think he needs to keep himself in check and be more aware of his conduct and maybe avert his eyes when a naked child is laid in in front of him. Pedo is a strong word and I certainly wouldn't think rape would enter his head. He isn't perfect and clearly our relationship brought out the worst in each other, but re child safety I am taking the safest rout given what I saw and clearly no support from mother to investigate with her daughter. I won't post further on this as its now in the hands of the authorities and I wouldn't want to compromise the situation, but thank you all for your advice and encouragement to speak out. X
I don't think you're really getting it to be honest. What you saw was just the tip of the iceberg, a normal man would never behave in that way ever and it is not just a matter of him "checking himself". If he has those tendencies, he is a threat to young girls and when these things come out, they typically have had many victims. You should prepare yourself, because a lot more may come out.
I guess this is why I had to pass this over to someone who can deal with it properly, I can't bare the idea that any of that may me true.. But it's also not now my fault if something happens in the future and I could have spared it happening. I feel like cr@p for having to do this, but I know it was the correct thing to do and as hard as it is for then to understand.. I did it for the love and innocence of the children. They say no smoke without fire.. I pray to God this time they are wrong because I truly loved that man and would feel disgusting if he turned out to be what I fear most. And more than that his children would be devastated. Don't have a clue what happens next, I guess time will tell x
I'm sorry to say he is the man you fear he is. Like said above normal men don't do this. I think your love for him is clouding your thoughts. He does not love his children. A loving father wouldn't do that to them. Sure he might act like he does but it's the same as how he treated you. He had no love for you even if he thinks it in his head
Wow, he filmed you unconscious, major red flags... His ex wife says she "knows him" a lot of wives/ex wives make that claim and yet look at the peados that have done it "long term" and yet no one suspected.... Rolf Harris, the "dad" from hey dad are two obvious ones that people "knew"..... Sadly most are manipulative, the groom their victims "well" and that's what he is doing, grooming the kids... What would he have done with his daughter if you weren't there
Don't feel bad for not acting initially, yes it would have been better, but I understand the brain fog when you are being psychologically abused. You end up not trusting yourself or your instincts because you're conditioned not to. Six months on I am still going over things in my own mind that happened in the 10 years I was with my partner. There was nothing explicit like this, but some very hyper-sexual and very inappropriate conversations and games with our boys that have me asking serious questions. I still wonder if it is all in my head or if he's just the giant man baby who doesn't recognize boundaries. You have done the right thing now, I just hope someone on the inside is able to keep those kids safe. Big hugs mumma.
A "good" father doesn't get an erection with his daughter bouncing on his lap.... I would be reporting it then bring it to the mothers attention as to why you are leaving him... A "good" father doesn't have an erection around his daughter in that regards.. Where's his self control and morals... Alarm bells ring for sure
Definitely not normal. Also niave to think he wouldn't go further.
Thanks for your replies and attempting to understand my position at the time. The thing is I don't have any proof at all saying it now any more than I did at the time it happened, as with all his abuse is was trail less and seen or experienced alone, his daughter may be able to shed some light if she has had any other experiences, I hope she hasn't in a way but in a way want him caught red handed by her saying yes this n that happened.,. But she is such a beautiful innocent thing and if all she had ever known is bounce games with hard uhums beneath her how would she ever know that isn't normal, that's what I was worried with his ex, she said her daughter would tell her if someone touched her a certain way, but he has been careful not to touch from what I have seen, I hope he hasn't!!, oh god this is too nasty to think about!. It's out of my hands now, not my responsibility thank God, I couldn't live knowing what ide seen n saying nothing and walking away, I was safe at last but were they.. Had to be done!. Still feel like cr@p tho. R
Hey, I can't follow this comments thread as it's all anonymous so I apologize if I am repeating etc.
I see you took it further to mother and she didn't believe you or didn't ask the daughter? If so, take it further legally. Just ask to make a witness statement explain you were also abused which is why you never said anything before now and instead have been constantly thinking about it and worrying and feel ready now to do something to protect these kids. Onhe topic of rape and being a pedo or not. Just because this man is a good dad or loves his kids and is only physical or emotionally abusive, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
The reason for that is my personal experience (example). My father and mother were together until I was 9. During that time my cousin lived with us as a foster. She was like 16 or 17 when I was 9 (when all hell broke loose) she lived with us from when she was about 7 and my mum was pregnant with me, just giving you some background info
He abused my mum both physically and emotionally and I mean beat the shit out of her a few times she would have black eyes for days but was such a doting dad to me and my brother, spoiling us rotten, we had so much toys clothes etc.and being so young I loved him so much you know,
When my cousin was 16 my mum walked in on him raping my cousin that lived with us. He immediately beat the shit out of my mum while police were called and it ended there relationship of course and it went to court. Now I am older I have heard the statement made by cousin. He started molesting and raping her at age 12 for fuck sake the things in that statement were Horric like movie shit. YOU NEVER KNOW THESE THINGS UNTIL ITS TOO LATE, I only included these to make sure you understand how important it is that you say something without hesitation and to the right people and don't make excuses please
Oh my god that is a horrific life experience, I am so sorry for you and your family, thank you for sharing that.
I have reported to all concerned, so hopefully people in the right positions will be asking the right questions and not just looking at the surface. I fell in love with the man his family and friends see, he didn't stay that way for long, maybe 6 months. It's all in my past now thankfully, but it tormented me that it may not be for the kids, I can sleep again now knowing I did the right thing by them. I don't suppose I will hear anything unless this goes to court, and if it does then I know that they found something they are worried about. Feels a bit like throwing a handgrinade from a car window and not knowing what happened after, if anything is being done, are they acting on my report and taking it seriously or has he and ex wife convinced them there is nothing to worry about with his victim act and her ignorance. Guess time will tell.R
Makes me sick that this question needs to be asked and is the reason so many children are hurt. Ignorant beyond belief!
This comment is not necessary. She has already stated why she had a problem reporting it ie. because she was getting abused herself by the man and has now reported it since leaving him and being able to get herself back on track. Abuse victims can't always work up the nerve to come forward with these things trust me my stepsister has recently reported sexual abuse against her mothers husband (she can't stomach the fact that her mother married this man and can't understand her mother not being on her side even when she has pretty much said to the police she knows what's happened AND says "oh well you must have brought it on yourself") so how about unless you have something helpful or kind to say you keep your unhelpful words to yourself.
I was once the little girl in a story all to similar to the one you describe and I just wanted to tell you to please don't feel guilty for not reporting it straight away. There's always 20/20 vision in hindsight and sometimes when you see something that is unfathomable to you, you really do question yourself "Did I just see that?". Unfortunately for me, my mother didn't follow her gut instinct and get me out of the situation with my stepfather, it escalated and I went on to be horribly abused over the following 5 years until I finally got the courage to speak up. You have spoken up for her, however and done what is not as easy as some people have made out to be.
My message here is don't be afraid to follow your gut instincts, they rarely lead us astray. And to anyone who wants to judge this lady for not saying something sooner - STOP. You know this part of her story and not much else. It's easy to see something clearly when its highlighted for you. To those who have critisised the IM for putting up this post, If this prompts just one other person to follow their instincts and speak up for a child, when they might have otherwise doubted themselves, it was completely worth it! Things might have been different for me if it wasn't such an unspoken subject nearly 30 years ago and my own mother may have seen the helpful responses these sort of posts bring.
Thanks for your post, I'm sorry your mum didn't act on your bravery to speak to her, some mothers I think don't want to see it or deal with it and maybe fear losing the individual.. Can't call them men.. Who is accused. People get irate about abuse, it's fine I can take it, I expected some.. But as you said my position was deeply confused and after I split up with him had 2 days of literally constant shaking like I was having a nervous breakdown, didn't sleep or eat, paranoid, quite literally. Thought I was having a breakdown. Luckily I have been brought up strong and came thru it faster than many, but now in cold light of day am glad I saw and heard all I did and the audio I heard clarified the monster I had been sharing my life with. Yesterday I spent the afternoon making a statement for the assault I experienced Easter Sunday, I know it's a waste of time, but I'm doing it for the kids.. To prove my mental state and his control and anger and why they will likely feel his control over them also and not speak out if they have experienced things with him.
I don't know if anything else has happened or could happen with children and him, but doing what I have MAY highlight it or eliminate it, but walking away knowing what I did wasn't sitting well with me and the possibility my gut was right was too much to bare risking. I would die for his children, so saying this is a minor effort, I will take whatever abuse he his family or anyone throws at me, because a child's innocence is precious and fragile and without it the adult they become is always less the person they could have been. My love to anyone who has experienced abuse at the hand of an evil person, and yes no matter what.. Report it!! .. Even if it's just a gut feeling or a doubt, better to be safe than walk away and leave the victim unhelped and unheard that is further abuse And empounds the abuse as life long insecurity x R
Well I've spoken this morning to children services, being not a direct family member they were limited to what they could tell me but they said the case is now closed, this I hope means they have looked into it and found no risk, if I am completely honest I am certain he has manipulated his way out of this saying I only said this because I was angry with him etc but I can not do anything about that, I tried and hopefully what I have highlighted will still leave a slight essence of doubt in the mother's minds and they will keep a closer eye on things. Nit my problem now, I did what u needed to do to move on x
