I hope that nothing happens to the little girl. I admire your attempt to protect her. I am curious why you didn't confront the mother before consulting others. If I had been in her position, it would have made me mad for you to talk to others and not to me, first.
The reason she may be keeping your secret is because it is her secret too. If she reveals your secret it might lead her boyfriend and others to think that she has been close to you in a way that may not be comfortable for her to admit. They might think, "how/why does she have such intimate knowledge about you?"

Michelle, what you did was very brave. It was also the right thing to do. Protecting that little girl was paramount. The mother should have put a stop to her boyfriend's behavior long before you stepped into the picture. You just did what you had to do. :thumbsup:

Too bad you lost you shopping buddy, but thank God for folks like you with the courage to step in and do the right thing.

The right thing is frequently not the easy thing. You did the right thing, even if it turns out to be false. Even if there is no finding, just the investigation might have been enough to stop things. People react differently to guilt and sometimes don't act logically. She probably has very mixed feelings about your relationship together, hence the mixed reaction.
You did the right thing.
Sally
