Sophie Brady was just seven years old when her 14-year-old cousin, David Hamilton, began to sexually abuse her. By the time she was ten, Sophie found the courage to disclose the abuse to an adult. However, her pleas went unheard, and the adults around her failed to take her seriously. This tragic oversight left her vulnerable to continuous victimization, not only by Hamilton but contributing to a broader pattern of unaddressed abuse within her family, as Hamilton and his brother were also implicated in the more extensive abuse of Sophie's sister.
When Sophie Brady confided in an adult about the persistent sexual abuse she faced from her cousin David Hamilton, she hoped to find support, but instead met disbelief and inaction.
Despite Sophie Brady's brave attempt to report the abuse at age 10, the lack of support from adults left her in a distressing situation, enduring continuous victimization.
