I felt so sad for that six-year-old little girl who was abused by her father.

I am so angry at our so called "justice system."

Do I understand it right that the sentence for this crime is between 12-18 months?

I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I still have flashbacks and nightmares almost 40 years later.

Without the wonderful support from my doctors, I would be dead. It is a life sentence.

I wish for that little girl to get all the help, support and care as soon as possible. For her father - karma.
