Amanda is a charming, bright, precocious 5-year-old. She loves unicorns, playing princess games, and reading with her mom. She is also a victim of sexual abuse.
When Amanda and her mom came to Life Stories, Amanda met with a forensic interviewer who talked to her about what happened at home. After being given a chance to tell her story, Amanda says she doesn’t feel all “yucky” inside anymore. Through the resources given to her by our Family Advocate, Amanda’s mother has found support to process the feelings of grief and self-blame that she’d been holding on to since she found out what happened behind closed doors. Amanda and her mother are no longer alone. With assistance from the caring and professional staff at the Child Advocacy Center, they’ve found renewed hope and a better future.
