Yes, he did all these things whilst there were adults in the house.Family members.The boys were too scared to talk. He would hit them and ‘punish’ them if they tried to talk to their nanna about what was happening. He found opportune moments like early mornings, or dinner preparation time, when the only adult in the house was at the stove. He waited til it was ‘afternoon play time’ and they were sent to the rumpus room to watch movies.No one, including their grandparents, had any idea what was going on until my boys came home. Nine days.During that time, their other cousins came to visit on a couple of occasions also. Two girls aged four and six. Need I say more?They tried to talk to their father, and they were shut down. Thankfully, his girlfriend is a child care worker, and as such reported the incident to DOCS.
