0:04I used to know this guy, he was my mom’s friend, and he was like, kinda nice, he gave

0:11me candy and let me play his phone a lot.

0:14And my mom thought she could trust him.

0:17But one day, my mom had to go to the store to get barbecue and stuff, and so she hadn't

0:22left with me because I wanted to stay, and, so when they left, her girlfriend was going

0:28to the shower to take a shower while he watches me, but it was not that good.

0:35He locked the doors and everything, and something went terribly bad.

0:40He did something to me very bad i did not want to do.

0:44I didn't want to tell my mom because he told me to not tell no-one, and if I did he would

0:49probably threaten me and hurt my family, so I kept quiet.

0:53My mom says, “What’s wrong?”

0:55I say “Nothing it’s okay!”.

0:57So then after days and days I’ve been worrying, trying not to tell no-one cause I was scared.

1:04Every school, I could not read, I could not talk that great, and they would be like,

1:11“What’s wrong” and I was like “Oh, nothing, I’m just tired”.

1:16So one day, I told my mom the truth, she was like, “Sweetie is this true?!?”

1:21and I said “Yes I’m scared!” and I started crying, and crying because I had let it out,

1:27it kept bugging me so much I had to let it out. It was like a big knot, so I had to untie it.

1:34When I told my mom, we had to go the police station, they asked everything what he did,

1:40so I did tell them, until they told me they were investigating it, and that, he was denying it

1:48So, I went to court then.

1:52The court was very scary because I had to look at him and my lawyer.

1:57The lawyer asked me questions, like how to say yes, yes, or not like that.

2:02I was very scared I was shaking and shaking until I dropped.

2:07It was kinda scary but, ever since I did the court, I let it out and it felt good to let it out.

2:16It felt like I was not in pain no more, and so I was putting a bad guy in jail.
