The story says “this fateful day, she lost something not so little- she’d lost the key to the house and she was terrified of her uncle‘s wrath.” and the story continuously say. “Only two weeks ago, he had beaten fwadaus for spilling a pitcher of milk.

The polices was very mean we watched them beat our granddad we stood there crying and begging the police to don’t take him away.
