I agree with allmymarbles, show the child pictures of close family and see what her reaction is , if she is afraid of one member you will know .

It could well be a relative or a close family friend. Why not show her a lot of pictures, and include pictures of those you suspect. Carefully watch her reactions, or something she says without coaxing..

How old is your grandaughter?

Oh, and be very careful not to ask her specific names.  Many young children will just say yes as they believe it pleases you.  I would refrain from questioning her, and allow a professional to do it.  In the meantime, I would not be leaving my child with anyone.

In my opinion this has to be handled very very carefully.  If your granddaughter is saying someone is doing sexual acts to her, this absolutely has to be investigated.  There are child physcologists who are properly trained in talking to kids about this issue and can question her properly.  They have professional training, and do a wonderful job.  Remember that most (or all) pedophiles threaten their innocent little victims.  They tell them things like if they tell their parents, the abuser will come and kill them or their family, that sort of sick and horrible thing.  I would immediately have her see a professional.  I can only imagine how you and your family are feeling right now.  I hope you get to the bottom of this quickly.  How old is she?

I would say that this child needs to be supervised can you be with her, it sounds as if someone maybe abusing her and I think you suspect that  What do her parents think have they any ideas what maybe going on , do they have anyone look after her whilst they are working or not at the house .Is the child in school?.
