Hi. My story will be long but plz listen to it. my daddy will be home soon. Thank you so much whoever put up this website because i have wanted to tell this to somone soooooo badly but i dont go to school because my daddy wont let me......so i cant tell a teacher or a friend, i dont have any. no neibors either.

He killed my mom. i know he did. he killed her when i was 7 and thinks i dont know. but i do. he calls me his little sugar plum when i ask about where she is. i think its so i wont tell anyone about her. he says she left with our old neibor mr. freeman but i know he killed her. he doesnt know i watched. i watched him kill mommy.i did. she was in the living room of our old house, in des moines iowa, and reading one of the love storys she got from the library. she loved to read. but she was sitting there in the beat up old chair that was almost falling apart but she loved it and wouldnt throw it out. i was coloring and i went down stairs to show her my picture. then daddy came in and i knew he would hurt me if i showed him. he said it was a waste of time when i drew if i could be working and helping him. so i stayed on the stairs. then he did it he yelled at her and punched her. he yelled at her for getting me a box of new crayons that cost 59 cents. he yelled that those 59 cents could be used to feed him. HIM! NOT ME! MOT MOMMY! NOT ALL OF US! BUT HIM! then he says she better repay back those 59 cents before morning. so then he ripped of her clothes and...... i cant say but she was screaming so hard. it semmed like forever before the screaming stopped then he said somthing like that was half or somthing mom was still screaming and i was worried that she was hurt. then he took out o gun of his coat. i herd a bang and i lokked down at mommy and she was lying there. not moving. then i knew. i screamed at him so hard. he him me and punched me and clled me lots of things. it still carries on. he will get mad at everything. i have a black eye right now. i have bruises. Plz tell me is there anyother like but this? i dont want to be here. but i cant run away. i looked in this room all day. there is a refrigerator and a microwave and a bed and this computer and a tv. he gives me food and keeps me living but im locked in here. always.
