im 13, And recently, i have come to the conclusion that I want to open a case against my sister for sexually abusing me. for some background info, my sister pressured me multiple times into sexual activities from when I was around 5 or 6 up until I was 10, knowing it was wrong and what she was doing wasn’t okay. I’m deciding now to try and do something about it because when it stopped I thought It was all over and that it wouldn’t effect me anymore, but it has effected me very much and I don’t think just telling my mother will solve the issue. but I have no proof against her because this happened a bit ago, and I don’t know how to get that, my friend say that I should try to get her to say what she did through a text message or record her saying something about it. The next issue is finding a way to get a lawyer, because they arent cheap and I am also a minor.

Are you still in school? Can you talk to a trusted teacher or the school nurse about it?
They are mandated reporters and they should get involved with the proper authorities.
