It’s hell on earth and can destroy an entire human life
forever: we’re talking about domestic violence. It is mostly the smallest and
the weakest that suffer under the violence of adults: the innocent children.
Here is an excerpt from a 6-year-old’s 911 call.
It is November 21, 1990. In Lisa’s house The sparks are
flying and her stepfather is lashing out at anything that crosses his path.
Over the course of Lisa's childhood, there was an
unbelievable 23 cases of child abuse reported in her home. Despite the ghastly
number, neither she nor her sister were taken out of the family. Today, 24
years later, Lisa still wishes someone had done it. She says: “Even if I hadn’t
wanted it at the time, it would have been much better for me.”
Today, Lisa is a young woman who has copes with the
circumstances of her childhood as well as she can. But she’ll never forget what
happened. There are countless scars that remain, especially on her soul. In her
online journal, she writes about her childhood openly and often very
emotionally. Her motive to do so is to spread awareness about domestic
violence. Because sometimes those effected simply lack the courage to speak up.
Sometimes they need a little support from outside the situation. That is why
Lisa’ s deepest wish for others and her legacy is: “At even the slightest
suspicion of family or domestic violence, intervene! Speak to those affected
and get help. Never look away and never be silent. Raise your voice! It could
be a matter of life or death. As it was with my family!”
Share this innocent kid’s cry for help and her profound
message as a woman. When violence is involved, there is no excuses. The only
way to escape it, is to open its clutches. Especially for the children. The
estimated number of unreported cases is still too high. Far too many eyes have
to be opened. Help spread the message!
