My five years old daughter came to me crying and said, ˇ§Mommy, it hurts!ˇ¨
I checked her all over, but could find no cuts or bruises. Nor could I understand why she was crying.
I just took it to be a little emotional outburst.
At the age of 12, my daughter started running away from home. I told her how much I loved and cared
for her. But she yelled back, ˇ§Love? Don't you know how your husband loves me in his dirty way?ˇ¨
Despair, fear and anger gripped me. I held her tight, recalling her cries for help as a little girlˇK
ˇ§I want to protect my child. What can I do?ˇ¨
