Child Slavery
PA ,
United States
I was put up for adoption and abused on a dairy farm. I was adopted to save a marriage. I was sent to the barn at age 5 as my mother despised me. I was worked to the point of exhaustion and beaten daily...this is literally 1/2 mile from where painter Grandma Moses lived. I'm now 47 with a wonderful family. I have battled addictions and embraced recovery. But I believe that child slavery is an ongoing under-reported problem. I have only recently been able to admit that my situation was one of slavery. I'm past anger, but I don't have the generous spirit towards my parents that you have towards yours.
