I honestly can't understand how she's going to live the rest of her life with her innocence stolen from her at this age. Really. "Recovering slowly" seems to mean...forever?

1. She will need to understand that she still has her innocence.

No one can take that away from her. She is only the victim of a horrific crime. I just hope that, in their justice system, she will not be made to testify.

I believe very strongly each day will be a struggle for this child. Your words were well chosen and no matter the language spoken others around the world feel the same and send healing thoughts her way as well as for her family.

Be well ... tiny one.
