Lucian's Story

To Come

In 2023, Lucian and their family moved to a new neighborhood.

Their street was filled with other families, and Lucian’s mother quickly felt

comfortable letting Lucian play with other kids, assuming

that they were looking out for each other and staying safe.

A few months after their move, Lucian confessed that an older boy from

the block would bring Lucian into his home and sexually abuse Lucian while

the other boy’s parents were out. Many of the other families on the block

refused to believe Lucian’s story, saying that their offender was “a good kid”

and Lucian was just “starting trouble.”

PCA’s team helped Lucian and their family understand that the road

to recovery is not always easy. They were provided the resources and support

Lucian needed to stay strong, tell their story, and build their personal

support system.
