Warning: This tale makes allusions to death.
SINGAPORE: During weekly meetings with a girl who had been sexually assaulted by an adoptive man almost every day for three decades, experts failed to identify” sexual abuse concerns.”
The Ministry of Social and Family Development ( MSF ) stated on Monday ( Dec 4 ) in response to questions from CNA that the girl did not “disclose the abuse to them” until she told a school teacher.
The 39-year-old man received a 10-year prison sentence and nine wood strokes on Tuesday for his crimes.
He admitted guilt to four counts of predatory sexual infiltration of a 16 or 17-year-old small, with nine additional charges being taken into account.
The woman was being sexually assaulted by the man who wanted to take her in while she was in MSF’s treatment and undergoing adoption.
After the court case, there were concerns about why the abuse went unnoticed for three decades despite the attack occurring almost every day. During the time of abuse, the girl also began to hurt herself.
A Event
The child, who is now 19 years old, was 13 when her mother committed suicide in front of her in 2017.
The girl’s father forbade her or her sisters from lamenting the loss of their mother despite the fact that she had adjustment disorder and a depressed feeling afterward.
In January 2018, a few months after the girl’s mother passed away, her parents assaulted her biologically. After taking too much medicine, she was admitted to the Institute of Mental Health and given a post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis.
About two months later, she was taken out of her husband’s custody and given to a household friend. The teen stopped hurting himself, but this behavior started up again in June 2018 following the murder of a close friend.
She was admitted by MSF to a facility that treats women who have experienced trauma or abuse in September 2018.
The victim’s identity may be revealed, but the man initially met the girl that quarter while overseeing a program at the treatment facility. He was the director of a business that runs kid’s tents.
The girl’s tragic history and her mental health problems were revealed to him and his wife before they decided to adopt the girl.
The target spent the night at the couple’s house after beginning home leave in December 2019. When she had trouble falling asleep, she occasionally slept on the base with the partners.
Her emotional health deteriorated between January 2020 and March 2020, necessitating her return to the care facility. She received frequent visits from the couple because they did n’t want her to feel abandoned.
Her house left with the pair resumed from June 2020 to August 2020, usually for two to three days at a time, following the COVID-19″ circuit break” in April and May 2020.
The man began sexually abusing her in September of that year by asking her to take off her clothes so she could engage in an “activity” in front of a picture.
In the first quarter of that quarter, he repeatedly assaulted her as well.
She started extended house left with the few despite the abuse, and on September 15, 2020, she started staying at their house full-time.
The man started assaulting the woman biologically almost every day. During the attack, the woman may experience stress attacks.
While the adoption process was still going on, the man and his wife were officially designated “kith carers” by MSF on October 4, 2020.
According to MSF, Kith carers are non-familial individuals who are known to a child through home or community connections and are not listed as foster parents.
Up until the middle of November, he assaulted the woman biologically almost every day for the following few months. The crimes were n’t found until the girl told a teacher on November 30, 2020.
Now, the woman is residing with her family. A social worker from the Family Service Center and a doctor psychologist are helping her, according to MSF.
