00:00And at that birthday party, when he came to pick me up, it even states in the article, I was
00:04just like traumatized, scared, and I didn't want to go with him.
00:08I was just fearful.
00:09And I think I remember when I came forward and I told that officer, I was just like, oh, he
00:14is slapping me.
00:15He was hitting me because I was too scared to like tell him the details of what I was going
00:20through.
00:20And it wasn't until a female officer came in and I felt comfortable sharing with her.
00:24So I remember just like the child being very like traumatized and scared in the back of the van and
00:30like the man looking at her like with this creepy look.
00:33And the look in his eyes just like triggered me to see my father's face.
00:37That's who my father moved to Wisconsin with was my stepmom and my little sister.
00:42He ended up moving me with just him to this apartment and it got way, way worse.
00:47Like it was nightly.
00:48And so she actually called him and was like, it's his birthday.
00:52My stepmom called the police and it's sad.
00:54She was a really great person in my life.
00:56I don't know why I wasn't able to tell her, but at least I was safe enough to tell her
01:01like something's going on.
01:02So she did the right thing by calling the cops.
