A question (Spoilers)

[Hutetu]

Perhaps im reading too much into this, but was the kid sexual abused by his last teacher.
Since he suddenly didnt like to take baths, or being touched

[Acerbic]

That was my thought as well. It is the first time I have wanted to violently murder a fictional character on behalf of another fictional character.

I've played it on android years ago but I had definately the same thoughts when I played it.

Wasn't this also the teacher that was always so "nice" to him/her?

No, that was Mr.Berg. The teacher in question is Mr.Solheim

Yeah, it's sexual abuse. The game heavily implies it, and the game also somewhat implies Solheim was involved in the pee incident. Just read the letter your child gets from their friend a day or two after the incident.

Anyways, that's why I'm trying to get the devs to boost the content warnings at the beginning of the game from assault to full blown sexual assault, since it's a really touchy topic for some.

I'm abit irritated at how little recourse the game gives you.
Like, it doesn't have to give you the ability to get absolute justice but it could at least give you another option than "Huh. Welp, my kid doesn't want to have a bath now. Thats whacky. Hey bud, did something happen? No? Good enough for me, fancy going fishing?".

Well... the parent didn't really want to force their child to say anything. As a survivor of CSA, it's really traumatizing to just... talk about it. When my mother found out and she kept asking me questions, I was on the verge of a panic attack the whole time and wanted to run as far away as humanly possible. I like the fact that the game allows you to respect your child's boundaries and that maybe they don't... want to talk about it, or they aren't ready to talk about it.

I defo think its rape or sexual assault. Karin drew a picture of an angry guy with 3 spiky arms after she would'nt let me bathe her. I feel like the third arm was his genitalia. It made me 100% sure it was more than assault/harassment.

[iLikeRoses]

it has to be, all the things she does after are classic ''sexualassault survivor'' behaviours

I absolutely second this. And I cannot stress this enough. I was personally sexually assaulted at age seven (which made this hit all the harder considering this is the exact age of the child) and I really had to get a grip to not spiral. I saw it coming from miles away, but kept telling myself "There's no warnings for sexual assault though, so it should be fine."

The game is very good, but sexual assault and assault are not the same thing. They need to be warned for separately. Depictions of physical assault don't trigger my PTSD, depictions of sexual assault does, and I would say that in this case it's even more visceral because the game lets you know without putting the words on it.

I'm very sorry you experienced this :( I have a lot of empathy towards people experiencing sexual assault, especially after i met this guy in high school who told me about being sexually assaulted himself as a kid.
I remember after talking with him a lot of things started to make sense in my head like how he often was wildly uncomfortable often when i was sitting close to him and i always saw he scratched his arm and looked another way when i did so in class.

Because of this it made me actually buy the book ''A Stolen Life'' by Jayce Lee Dugard when i was done with high school since i every now and then i wondered how he was doing. :s

Thank you for the kind words!
It's true that once you know the signs, they become clearer and easier to spot in people. I myself was in denial about my trauma for over 16 years, and only recently was able to put it into words thanks to therapy. I've noticed many behaviors in myself that I can now see are directly linked to what happened.
It's very nice and thoughtful of you to have done reading on this subject, though! The more people are aware that it's a real thing that happens to real people (and not just a hypothetical "terribly bad crime" to think of when talking about how cruel people can be), the more comfortable life will be for victims and survivors of sexual assault! Sometimes, being aware and minding how you act around someone can make one hell of a difference, even when you don't know what their specific trauma is.
