The outcome can sometimes be more than we can bear. Children are abused for many reasons and sometimes there is no reason. Daziney was only a little girl when she moved to South Carolina but the abuses did not start until she was 15 years old. I met Daziney in the 6th grade at Aynor Middle School. Daziney's mother had passed away and her father remarried, and they had two children together. Daziney's was verbally and physically abused by her step mother. Daziney did not have the strength to tell her father or anyone else that her mother was abusing her; however, when she met me in the 6th grade that changed. Daziney finally came out and told me what was going on at home. Sometime's it got so bad that Daziney came to school crying and with bruises all over her. Daziney had me promise not to tell anyone about her mother abusing her, but how could I sit back and let this happened. I had no background knowledge on abused people; I had never been around those kind of situations. So like any other child would do, I went to my mom and asked if there was anything that we could do to help. Well we found out that Daziney had family in New York City. So now Daziney lives in New York away from her step mother and father. Daziney was lucky to have family that far away where her mother could not abuse her anymore. Many abuse situations like this and worse does not end this way.
