It is wise to let the parents know first they will cheated by you seeking professional help first let them do it as a family she the needs that first support from her parents

I would definitely agree with getting in touch with Childline or some experts in this matter and allowing the girl some choice in how she deals with this.
after being abused as a little girl (5), not telling my parents, untill I was about 18 years, I had a big infuance on my life, You need to get your niece to speak up about it, the only way to get over it is to break the hold that puts on your life, I lived with it and felt guilty, and dirty and lost for so many years before I reallised that It was not my fault, that I was not bad and that I did not do anything wrong. My mom and dad never knew, but in my mind I always thought that they must have known. I resented them as teenager for that, Let her speak to someone profesional, and let them speak to her parents. cause all you want is someone to make it better, and to love you. Be strong girl take back your life...dont let that man steal it, You have so much to life for, Live your life to the fullest of your potensial not to the sadness that happend to you.
