Stacy hangs around after class at the end of the day. You chat about things
going on at school with her as you organize your classroom, but she’s
distracted and isn’t following your conversation. When you are ready to leave,
it is clear that she isn’t. Finally, with encouragement, she tells you that she
is supposed to stay with her grandparents that night and she doesn’t want to
go. Although she is clearly uncomfortable, she finally discloses that the last
time she visited, her grandfather took her down to the basement, rubbed her
between her legs, then put his hand on her chest over her breasts and told her
she was getting to be a big girl and would need a bigger bra soon. She doesn’t
want her parents to know, but she just can’t go stay with her grandparents. She
doesn’t want you to tell anyone.
