But he understands how a father can be at the end of his tether.
“We asked for help everywhere, whether at school or even at the city police station,” he laments. And every time it's the same. They throw the ball to each other.”
Her daughter was abused and locked in lockers for several years.
She was even pushed in front of moving vehicles.
