Also, Boyfriend Syndrome. Here in NYC it’s invariably the boyfriend of a single mother murdering and raping children. And yet these women never learn.
One year in my ninth grade tech drawing class I had one of the sweetest little girls. He step monster had stripped an extension cord and whipped the child's back.
The school nurse had to document it with pictures and I had to verify information and had to see some of the pictures.
The poor thing had keloidal skin and some of the scars were 6 inches long.
I am against violence to women, but would have made an exception in this case for that step monster.
