Today some terrible news was given to me by my mother. She came to the
steps, to the call of all rape victims to come forward. She wanted to
speak. She is now nearing 60 years. In the 1960's, she was with one of her
female friends. And the friends brother offered to drive her back home. As
she was in a car full of young teen boys, the boys decided to take it upon
themselves to take her to a cemetery and rape her. She and a few of the
boys were in the age range of 14-16.
She wants me to let her story be known since she was unable to speak
yesterday (1/5/2013). She is willing to write a statement to be read at the
next upcoming #Occupy. I will be reading this for her. But in the case that
I may not be able to make it out to Steubenville I would ask for one of our
organizers to step forward (Preferably Female) to read her story to the
crowd.
This news has me heart broken as she has never spoken a word of it until
only a few moments ago.
