Dear MIMsters: My precious daughter has been exposed pornography and it’s really messy

Dear MIMsters: My precious daughter has been exposed pornography and it’s really messy

My daughter is 11 years old, a very brilliant and intelligent girl. She confides in me every detail of her life. She is God fearing, a girl who prays until she gets answers. I really thank God for such a precious daughter. But pornography is threatening all these.

I live in a different country away from her because of work. I’m a single mum. While she lives with my 2 sisters who agreed to accommodate her because they love and fear God. They are also very disciplined. I try to see them at least every 6 months.

Today, when I was talking to my baby (we talk daily), she told me that when she and my younger brother (he is 17 and in a boarding school) visited my elder brother during the holidays, she came across my younger brother watching ‘naked people’ on TV together with my elder brother’s sister in law (sister to my elder bro’s wife) who is the same age as my younger brother, and they were doing bad things (my daughter’s words). There are 3 other young nieces and 1 nephew of mine, 12 years, 5 years, and 3 years who innocently also got sight of the pornography. My daughter told me that she took the younger ones and ran away with them and hid in my elder brother’s bedroom when she found out what my younger brother and the girls were watching.

This is a young boy in his last year in school. I work hard to pay his fees, feed him, cloth him, I have taught him the way of the Lord even though it hasn’t been easy because I shuttle back and forth, I have not given up on praying and encouraging him though. I asked my daughter if she told my elder bro but she said she is not free to tell him expect me.

I have talked to my daughter in my own way and since she is knowledgeable. I also prayed for her and my nieces and nephew and covered them with the blood of Jesus. As I write this, my younger bro has gone back to school and I can’t access him until he closes school in August. My daughter also says that she got threatened by my little bro not to tell, citing that it was my elder bro’s sister in law (the lady who was watching together with him) who initiated it.

How do I handle it?

  • Pls get ur daughter out of that house. U shouldnt for no reason be away 4rm your daughter or u will live to regret it. God blessed u with a wonderful daughter and its ur responsibility 2 take good take of her no 1 else. Please and please no job or money should separate u from your daughter. Her early years are very important, u should be there physically for her. Where ever u are ur daughter should be there with u. Enough said

  • Talk to your elder brother about it since the abomination is happening in his house, tell your daughter the implications of watching that and threaten your younger brother with stopping to pay his fees if he don’t stop watching such since he is close to your girl

  • I support what zinny said that you should explain in details to your daughter the implications of watching such films, also to get your elder brother along ,there is danger because of his own kids as well… God will give you direction in all ways

  • Please take your child with you so you can monitor her closely. A girl child is not supposed to be away from the mom.
