Saving The Children Debra Tomczak

Along time ago someone betrayed me. I was only a child. Every day someone betrays, hurts or misuses a child. My very graphic story will explain in detail my journey starting at the age of five years old. I started out as a happy normal child, although poor. Life would soon resemble that of a living hell. I would find a way out of that hell. Years would go by and I forgot my hell and my-hell-maker. By some misfortune, I found myself at his hands again. I became ill an illness was not visible to my family. I had learned to keep hundreds of secrets in my short life. I turned into someone my family didn't recognize. I didn't care if I lived or died. It was up to me to save myself and me alone. Was I strong enough? Did I know how to save myself? Now, I know what my contribution to society is, to stop these monsters from hurting future Generations. Kids are too scared to tell what happens in the home.
