I was just laying in bed, and I remembered something from over 20 years ago.
When I was 12 or 13, living in Red Deer, I used to babysit for 3 kids, a little girl, her younger brother, and her baby brother.
I liked doing it because it was easy money, it got me out of the house, and basically all I did was put the kids to bed early, and watch TV... I was a pretty crappy babysitter.
I was also rather naive.
I had a very disturbing image in my head as I was trying to drift off to sleep tonight.
One night I was babysitting, the little girl asked if she could sleep in mommy and daddy's room. I let her. I went downstairs to watch to TV.
About an hour later, the little girl yelled for me, so I came upstairs to see what she wanted.
She was naked on the bed, and said she wanted to do the "mommy daddy thing"
I told her to get her pyjamas back on, and get to sleep, and she did.
I must've been naive, and now it's haunting me. At that age, I guess I never even considered the possibility that someone had been abusing her
If I hadn't been so sheltered I might have said something to my father... I might have been able to help... I might have known something was wrong.
I think I babysat there 5 or 6 times... it only happened the one time, and then we moved away.
At this moment in time, I feel so useless... :/

Little kid do weird shit. It could be as simple as she saw her parents getting down, and remembered it, so she was curious and thought she would see what you'd say. Yeah, maybe she was abused, but often when kids are abused, they are very very ashamed of their bodies and shy. But hey, I don't know. Like, for example, I worked day care for a bit at a gym when I was a teen(eep) and this little girl jkep having this little boy run through her legs, and she giggled every time. It was, um, bordering on improper, so I said she should stop, you know, and she was all, "No, it feels good." She didn't seem like an abused girl at all. Kids are really sexually curious, so, I would keep in mind that it's a 50/50 either way.
