Today.
I assisted the family of my client. There was an allegation that a minor was raped by her blood relatives.
The cynic in me would rather believe that the incident is just concocted by the imaginative minds of children.
I assisted with caution. Wary of the veracity of the accusation and worried of the danger that we are getting into.
We were able to get the child/victim.
My heart was crushed when I heard the victim say, "Ka salamat kay gikuha gyud ko nimo." Translation: "Elder sibling, I am grateful that you took me from this place."
So tonight, I am going to sleep less jaded and with a crushed but softened heart.
