Answer 1

While never being able to say "no", waking up, screaming, wetting the bed etc etc are signs of so many things you may be doing her cousin a big dis-service.

Has there been opportunity to molest?  Besides these symptoms that could easily be something else have you any reason to suspect anything?  Or have you just read too many books?

I think you need to be aware, but equally the poor lad should not be accused of something he hasn't done.

Answer 2

Why else do you think he would be sexual abusing her..

Could it be that hes physically hurting her instead, maybe pinching or hitting.

What do you know about the 11 year old, has he himself been sexual abused before. Has he seen sexual acts. These are things that could treat a repeated behavior.

If none of these things have happened to him i think there could be other reasons for you daughters behavior life physical abuse or mental abuse.

If you have any real concern please see your doctor who can help further and have her checked!

good luck!
