It's easy to report such offenses to the police or right authorities when it's an outsider, but what if the offender is a family member and the family wants to keep this as a secret?

That is downright selfish of a mother to tell her daughter to keep such a secret so she can save her dirty husband's ***. What about you, do you not matter to her or something. I'm a mother and if that ever happened to my child I would report it and get me and my child out of that situation. If you plan on reporting it you'd need lots of proof I would record him in that act or if he says somethings inappropriate to you record it. At the end of the day do what your heart and soul wants to do, your mom should be ashamed of herself.

Its not something to be kept as a secret. It is giving scars to both body and soul. How could a father do this to her daughter. I can understand, when its about family, we think a thousand time to take any step. See, your mother could be saying so because father is the bread and butter earner so she must be thinking of finances. It is something unbearable and should not be tolerated at all. So, try to solve it with help of some one from your family such as some elders you could trust. If at last no option, report it, because no one could touch a female without here permission, its a crime.

There's no difference. All you have to do is secretly call the 911. If you aren't capable of telling the police, go directly to the Police station so they will be able to help you.

It will be a secret but it will traumatized the person who was raped. It will be good to talk to a counselor who would later talk to your mother and counsel her on the need to seek help from the authorities. If you remain silent he will continue doing it and may end up punished by mob justice since he'll take it as a habit everywhere. He needs to own up for his mistake.

You are a beautiful and wonderful soul. Love and care for this precious little self that is you first. You deserve this self-love so if you don't talk to the authorities and also to your therapist, it might affect you emotionally and psychologically in ways you can't imagine right now. Rape is a crime and if left untold the culprit will repeat and repeat and repeat even if family knows about it. Rape is a crime done to you and your body, your mind, your heart and your soul need this justice. It is wrong and have been done to you and it can't be undone by just letting it go.

Call the police or go to the police ASAP. Such criminal behavior needs to be punished. Even it he is your father or you are under any pressure! Please contact the police. This is shameful and ridiculous.

If you want to get out of that situation and be sure you'll be safe, you need to call CPS if you are a minor. Do that with a trustworthy adult, like an aunt, an uncle, a teacher or whoever you fully trust. You don't have to battle this alone. 


If you are an adult, do it with a person you trust, still, but go to the police station and start therapies. 
Talk to a doctor as well. 
Sadly, it is possible that your father won't be sentenced, but you can always go to court as a step in your path of well-being. Do it for yourself, first. You are the one that matter and don't count on your mother... Unfortunatly she is not protecting you, she's protecting your father.

That is the worst thing that a father could do to his daughter . I feel sorry for you , I feel like your mother should be supporting you in this situation than taking your father's side...

I am sorry to hear this. I think it is best to tell the authority about your concern. Your dad needs to be punished for committing such a crime.

I can't keep that a secret, you should report the offence. Keeping it a secret  will hurt you more and your father may try to do that again since they know you can't say anything. It may be hard but you just need to do that, also you need help incase you have been infected by any disease or pregnancy.your mental health is also at risk because it will hurt you alot. Just go out and report him to get help that is a serious matter.

 If you get a chance to make a complain, then take it don't think what is mother is saying, she just a slefish creature with no backbone. In this world fight for yourself, even if no one is ready stand by your side.

Rape no matter who committed it is a crime and deserves punishment so if you are a victim of rape you deserve justice no matter who did it to you.

It is shameful for a family members to do such thing and it needs punishment, even if he is your dad. The truth must always prevail. How can he manage to take care his family members if he's the one responsible for committing such crime.

That was so unethical. How could they say those things to you as a daughter. The truth will still prevail and justice will be served. Don't worry if you tell the police the whole truth, you'll live peacefully again

Yes at a certain point, the family should be protected from certain scandals, especially if the family belongs to a famous organization or something like that. But on your part, you have a dignity that you need to protect too. Before anything else you also need to protect and love your own self for your own good too. If you think that you are an adult or mature enough to be on your own better stay away from your dad to avoid any trouble that might bring you to harm just like if he might get you pregnant in the future that both of you wouldn't like especially you. You can also stay with your other relatives that are close to you and understand your situation that can help you.

A father who rapes a daughter is a very dangerous man.There is no need to keep this as a secret.Pls tell the police because for a man to have such a heart to do that means that he may do something worse than that in that family.Your mother is just trying to protect the image of the family.Your father must be punished.

Please do not be silent. What about you, and the trauma and embarrassment you have encountered. your mother has her life to live and you have yours. It might sound harsh and rude but it is true. Protecting such a criminal is absolutely not right at all. Because how many times will it happen and stay silent. Next it will be your sister or someone close to you. And that is why most young girls commit suicide because they are so traumatized and can not handle it anymore. As a mother, you have a responsibility to protect your girl child from such a traumatizing event. Its so sad that the ones we trust to protect us are the ones doing it.
