Dear Pastor,

My mother has a boyfriend and he is having sex with me. When my mother sends me to his yard for money, before he gives me the money to give to my mother he has sex with me.

When I told my mother about it, she beat me with board. I know she does not love me because she and her boyfriend are the same thing.

Dear S.,

You reported this man to your mother, and instead of confronting the man, she beat you. Only a heartless mother would do what she has done to you.

I suggest that you report the matter to other family members, such as your aunts and uncles and ask them to talk to your mother about the matter. If this man continues to sexually abuse you, go to the police station and report the matter immediately and tell them that you do not want to continue to live with your mother because she is beating you and doing nothing to prevent this man from having sex with you.

Pastor
