DOMINICK, 27

You know I remember to this day, I honestly remember this, my little sister is four or three. Her going into the dryer and [my mom and her boyfriend] put it on and all I remember hearing is ca-clunk, ca-clunk. They tried to do it to me they tried to put me in the dryer, trying, trying, I’m so scared I’m like I’m not going to let them, and they’re like oh this fucker’s tough we can’t get him in there so they duct taped me to a bed for two days.

My mom, she’s a horrible person. She is worse than any person I’ve ever met in my life, and it’s sad because I want her to change. I don’t really think about it too much because it’s too hard you know. I don’t really tell too many people about it either because it is kind of embarrassing. Just like when my girlfriend said in the police statement that it was embarrassing I spit on her, and I kind of felt how she feels, you know. To be embarrassed from someone doing something wrong to you.
