I don’t think reprimanded is the word you are looking for as normally this just means to be told off. The perpetrator (depending on the age) deserves legal consequence if at all possible. Given that the last of it happened 4 years ago it might not be possible. If the perpetrator was the same age they likely need/ needed extreme behavioral rehab.

So my ex was three years older than me at the time. I tried to take legal action but the authorities in my area (a small town) are family friends with the police and they refused to listen to me and outright ignored all my physical injuries and pictures and texts of proof. My family already didn't support me going to the police so after that attempt they said that I couldn't anymore. My ex later moved out of state so I'm not sure where he ended up. Thank you though!!

A 14 year old “dating” an 11 year old makes my stomach turn a bit to think about and I’m sad that no one (parents, family, friends) called this out/intervened on your behalf even without knowing other details. For your sake, I’m glad that person is out of your life for good. For others’ sake, I hope he got psychological help. I’m glad you are considering the work of healing because you deserve that.
