Further little up-date to the "B" ( Belinda) Case.
Belinda and 'new' family arrived as expected for our counseling session as scheduled.
No, I didn't faint, but what a surprise I got.
We've all heard the story of the Ugly Duckling-Swan, well this is more like the enforced caterpillar- brilliant Butterfly transformation.
But my shock came when Belinda showed us all some of the elastic type bandages her ex-parents wrapped her in EVERY SINGLE day for the last 1 and a half years in 'efforts' to conceal/hide her developing breasts, etc,.
When she demonstrated to us all, using me as a model btw, how tightly they were wound around her and for how long she was literally FORCED to wear them, we all became somewhat outraged at such blatant cruelty and, imo, sadism.
Now, thankfully, Belinda wears very nice, feminine clothes, has a very nice hairstyle, just a very small touch of lipstick, etc, BUT, in her words, " Can;t get the knack of walking in women's shoes as yet.
The best part,to my mind, was when she stated clearly that she has NOT had ANY nightmares, can breathe properly, behave like herself and IS no longer made to feel like, in her words, " some, dirty, little family secret that needs to be kept hidden away from everyone."
The only 'draw-back' was that just when my sore ribs were recovering from being squeezed when the Policewoman hugged me is that Belinda decided I deserved an even bigger hug and boy did she hug me, my ribs are still aching today.
But hey, it IS all worth it.

Oh boy, the "B" story just keeps getting better and better.
Just had phone call from " B" now calling herself Belinda, Social Security ( Centrelink) must have gotten 'bomb' under their arses big time.
They have back-dated her Youth Allowance Payments to August, 2020, she also receives AustStudy and can resume studies from home, she now has her OWN Bank Account in which she found last evening her first payment.
After a 2 hour shopping session this morning with her NEW Family, she has a whole new wardrobe of feminine clothing, etc, a whole new hairstyle and IS trying to 'walk' in womens style footwear but has a "few 'little' sore spots on her bum from stumbling and hitting the floor," LOL.
Oh, and her final words were " Please don't faint when we arrive this afternoon for our meeting, I'm coming as a woman."

Hope all goes well. Too bad there's no hell for idiots like that to rot in. Very glad B is getting that help so quickly.

In case no one has told you lately, you are a truly marvelous human being.
I'm glad we're acquainted.

Hope B continues to heal and really starts to thrive.
May his abusers rot in prison and receive the "justice" they richly deserve.

Is there a link to more information on this case?

That's great that "B" is doing well.. ☺ thanks for the update...
