Journal #6
Bridgett Harris was just three years old when she was first raped by her father. he hadn't thought she'd remember this; being so young, but she did. and this wasn't the last time, he continued to do this to this young African American girl her whole life. He forced her to preformed oral sex, as he also preformed this on her to. One night she (Harris) awoken to her father in bed with her; she screamed and fought him to leave her alone for the first time that night. She moved in with her mother, although the abuse became so bad she actually went to live back with her father Eric. she had never told anyone about this, and i don't think even she knows why. But the time came to act when now as an adult; she watches her father bouncing her sisters young daughter on his lap . this scared her, it brought her back to when she was an Innocent child bouncing on his lap.
Harris went home and made a tap of why she is doing what she is about to do. she explained everything that has happened to her in her life (summed up) explain what Eric had done to her and how she hadn't wanted that for her niece. within a month she meet with her father at her place so they could "talk". she for the first time, explained to him her pain and how she hated him. Harris wanted nothing more for the man to admit what he had done. this same day; they fought and fell to the ground. the girl who had had been a security Gard in her past; naturally her instincts of training set in. her father who had been battling through a kidney stone fell and seemed as he wasn't breather. harris' intentions was not of death.
making sure the man was alive, she then gaged him and pulled down his pants. first she used some scissors, this was ineffective and she moved to a scalpel, removing his penis with one cut. Harris had been sent to jail for manslaughter in the second degree which is as lenient as they could have been. seeing how Eric had died but not from blood loss. he lost oxygen from being gaged and died before he could have from blood loss. she will be in jail for as minimum of 5 -15 years.
The way this story started out i was confused, but it kept me extremely interested because i had to know, what was going to happen next? what more could this child go through? One quote that i found the hardest to read was, "She remembers him getting on top of her and trying to have sex with her. She remembers the phone ringing and pleading with her father to go answer the phone�and him telling her �Don’t worry about it.� She remembers him getting off her in time. She remembers holding her doll. She remembers being in pain. She was 3 years old."
