7 year old daughter said my boyfriend pulled her panties and pj's down then back up
My 7-year-old one morning woke up to say that my boyfriend in the middle of the night pulled down her underwear. Concerned, I told him he needed to leave because that was a serious accusation, and I had to protect my children.
So her brother told the teacher who, in turn, told social services and the detective. The detective interviewed her, and she said in the middle of the night, he moved the blanket which woke her up and pulled her underwear and pj's down and then pulled them up and told her to go to bed. She doesn't wear these pj's often, so it happened months ago.
Now in no way do I think my daughter is lying. However I think this might be taken out of context as it might have happened when he carried her to bed (a bunk bed that's hard to put her in anyway and these pj's are about 2 sizes to big).
So the investigation isn't quite over, but I'm pretty sure it's unfounded (from talking with the detective etc.). She was checked out medically and never had any sexual assault. She isn't acting differently or in any way weird.
He's never been one to change the diapers, bathe them, and in fact has been the only one to MAKE them (I have other children) wear underwear, at least when wandering the house. (I thought that was a good thing, as my children have never been worried about it, but he was worried about them in front of windows etc.)
So I'm dealing with child services, and my boyfriend is still not living with us, but I want to know if anyone has dealt with this? Will he continue to not be allowed to live with us (through child service's point of view), even if nothing inappropriate happened? I trust/ed him and could never see him doing this, but I know my daughter isn't making it up.
Am I being irrational to think this could be a misunderstand?
