Shelley Lubben: Lexi, what was childhood like growing up?

Lexi: My childhood was rough. My real mom died when I was 5 years old and my real father disappeared after I was born. I was adopted by my mom's husband who remarried a woman who was abusive. I was raped the summer between my 3rd and 4th grade year by my friend's dad. I cried because it hurt so badly because I was still a virgin. The man kept petting my face saying, "It's okay, we're special friends and nobody will understand so that's why you can't tell anyone". A year later my step dad and his friends were getting drunk and one of his friends came into my room and molested me. This went on for about a month or two.

What kind of world do we live in where we have to state this?

3-4th grade means fucking 8. All 8 year olds should be virgins.

More like 9, but maybe it wasn't unusual ... in her family.

I had a good friend who passed a year ago who worked with troubled kids in Florida, most of whom had been abused. He said it's almost always the step-father, and the mother knows but doesn't want to know.
