Kat,
Like so many here, I am writing through a blur of tears. But, perhaps, not for the same reason. I cry for you, for what you have been through because of a predator; but, I also cry tears of gratitude to you (and others) who speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves. Like, my Hannah. She is non-ambulatory and non-verbal. She is completely helpless and dependent on others. We have spent countless hours, days and weeks in hospitals over her lifetime. There are always tests, and the need to be transported from one area of the hospital to the other (by attendants). Of course, when she's in hospital, they get the whole family, because dad and I move in and she never goes anywhere without one of us. But....what about those who don't have family? Or, people who just blindly assume that attendants are trustworthy? Believe me - I've thought about this a lot, as a mother.
I am certain justice will prevail in your case. But, I just want to say to you, from a mother's heart ~ whatever the outcome, "thank-you" for speaking out, and exposing someone who preys on the weak, or people in a weakened state - in an environment where they should feel safe. |
