My daughter turned 16 yesterday. Last night, she tried to pull the "I want to spend the night with a friend" card. Well, she didn't spend the night with her, and by 10pm I knew she wasn't there at all. She did start responding to texts about 11 but wouldn't tell me where she was. Finally she agreed to be home at midnight. But in her last text, she said she had been raped earlier this week. She won't text about it.
Midnight came and went, and now she is not answering texts. About 1:30am, I start driving around town. I park in front of the house she has been spending the most time at. One of her friends came out and said she had been there, but she got upset and walked out of the house about 1:15 and left her phone and purse there, but she would send me a FB message if she returned.
husband and I waited up til 3:30am and then called the police. They went back to the house I had been at and she was there. He brought her home and talked to us. He confirmed underage drinking had been going on there, but he left it up to us to handle it. He suggested we let her sleep it off and talk to her today. Well today isn't any better.
She won't talk to us about the rape. Not who, where, anything. I asked if it started out as consensual and then changed... She won't talk, and won't go to the ER. As far as I can tell, it might have been 3 to 5 days ago. IF it happened. I don't know if this is one of the many lies she tells, like a distraction from all the other drama going on.
She admits that last night she used some of her birthday money to get someone over 21 to buy alcohol for her and her friends. She seems more upset about her 'friends" being mad at her than anything else.
