I am reaching out - for my daughter who was abused by her step-father when she was in her early teens . She is now 28 years old and is a total mess and using drugs . All these years I have had to seek professional help and still am to avoid doing what I wanted and want to do to this sub-human . My daughter lives in LA , CA.. This MF waited until NOW , by the way he is a Louisiana attorney , to try to put her on the LA streets to die . I am a disabled vet and on social security . I've had to scrape everything , and still everyday to help her stay alive . In Louisiana, the criminal act , where it happened , has NO statutes of limitations . He waited until her 28th birthday to " cut her off " from nursing school financial aid , etc. , since the Louisiana law allows a CIVIL matter to be brought against him until ten years after she reached her majority of eighteen ( 18 ) ; therefore, twenty -eight ( 28 ) . I cannot give up Mr. Arnold !!!! THANKS and whatever for addressing this sick subject that happen to you when you were a child . YOU ARE A VERY COURAGEOUS PERSON . Even though it has taken you so long to do so . I WANT AND WILL GET OUR JUSTICE !!! . She filed a report with the LA Police but , SHE , AND ONLY SHE must go to the Parish in Louisiana where it happened and press charges against him . My daughter presently , is terrified to do this . She requires IMMEDIATE HELP . I contacted the LA Social Services AND POLICE . Both are trying to have a intervention unit , team , whatever contact her and convince her to first , de-tox , go to necessary rehabilitation and take necessary action in Louisiana against this guy before I get to him . I feel alone and have failed her as a FATHER . What he did has screwed us up for fifteen ( 15 ) years . I MUST vent this out - even if it is through this media . WHY does it take so long Mr. Arnold ? WHAT MORE CAN I DO ? I lost all in Waveland , Ms. by Katrina over three years ago , am still trying to get a SBA Loan , fighting with Nationwide Insurance Company and presently living , literally in a shack across from the railroad in a small town in Northeast Arkansas . Flat out , my daughter cannot make decisions . I can but , right now , the decision is RAW and actually will not help my daughter get well . I must stop this ; my emotions are eating my insides WHY is this subject , and bringing it to light , almost TABOO ? WHY does it take so long ? It NEVER stops hurting - and involves so many people in EVERY walk of life . Thanks for your COURAGE Mr. Arnold . I'm done !!! Really DONE !!! AJL
