What are you waiting for?

You are 7 years old

It's several months since it all went down.. police come to house. interview with detective. Then go to Child Advocacy Center.. another interview with people u dont know... asking questions.. and letting u tell ur story using dolls and such... It's all recorded. But now it's preliminary hearing day.(when court decides if there is enough evidence to bind that perp over for trial)... for 3 days u have told ur mom... "I can't do it.. i can't testify... im afraid." Put ur self in her shoes... she's only 7, has to tell the story of sexual abuse in detail in a strange place.. in front of big people she doesn't know... with the perp setting less than 10ft away.. starring at her.. tryin to intimidate with every glance. The defense attorney purposely stands so when she answers.. she sees perp just to attorney's right. The morning of... " mom... i can't do it". Mom is torn.. how can i put my daughter through this... slowly she says " well.. lets just get in the car and go... if you really feel you can't when we get there... you won't have too." It's 8:30am... prelim scheduled at 9. B.A.C.A. brothers and sisters are in parking lot. waiting for our friend to arrive. Car pulls in.. she steps out... sees some big old burly friends and the familiar face of her B.A.C.A. liaison sister. She runs over and gives all a hug... she is center of attention. and fears are slipping away. Surrounded literally by B.A.C.A. she is escorted to D.A.'s office where she will await the call to testify. She is all smiles.. pickin on Minka about his shoes...all kidden and joken around.. still the center of attention... all our focus on her. Lots of rules and special instruction when we go to court. Don't want to do anything.. not anything that would jeapordize the case. Don't make eye contact with perp. Defense attorney jumps on that and says we are tryn to intimidate. Some one has checked with judge to see if its ok for us to wear our colors in court... if not we come prepared with black T-shirt..no emblemes..just plain. our little friend knows who we are ... colors or no. Bunch of other stuff about our behavior in court.. we follow it to the letter. Call comes and we head to court room.. again she is surrounded.. a human wall... Don't want perps family catching her eye or perp himself when he enters court room. she asks "will u all be with me in there?" Liaison says "sure... just look at us..we are here for u... don't worry about anything else". Once a little friend asked Book.." what should I say in there". Book got down on a knee and looked her in the eye..and said.."don't be afraid... and just tell the truth".. Defense attorney saw them talking and thought ...hmm.. can use that for witness tampering.. so he asked girl what Book told her..and on the stand for the jury to hear...she said " he said to tell the truth and i am"... Big Backfire... defense goes down in flames. She enters court room and takes stand.. Big Dawg and Zipper are settin behind perp... she sees them.. she testifies. Perp bound over for trial. Good Day! These are some of our best days. we will be with her for every hearing... every court appearance and for the trial...which, on average, will be two years from date of this hearing... We'll be there.
