My underage ‘sister’ is having sex

-

Dear Pastor,

I am 26 and I was living with some people. This family had three girls, ages 14, 12 and nine. They love me as their brother.

Their father beat one of them with a water hose. She came home from school an hour over the time.

One day, we were going for water and

I saw some scars and asked her how she got them. She said her father beat her because he believed that she went and had sex.

She said to me, “Brother, you see like how he beat me saying that I am having sex, I am going to do it.” So, she went and had sex and told me about it.

She said she gave away her virginity yesterday. I told her to be careful and that she should remember that she was still young and going to school.

She told me her boyfriend’s name; she told me everything. I don’t know what to do, sir.
