In todays world, the incidence of child abuse has gone up very much. Hemophiliacs as they are called, rarely admit to abusing a child. The child should be taken to a child psychiatrist for counselling and the atmosphere should be immediately changed. The mother should be convinced of what had happened, if needed, by counselling. Legal security can also be acquired as per the rules and the accused can be tried. The child needs lot of moral support from an understanding and dependable adult like you and would come out of the trauma in course of time. Any physical injuries should be attended to. Take care.
