Fourteen almost fifteen year old, Scottlynn walks into the police station with her sixteen month old baby boy, Finley on her hip. She is coming to get help, because her old foster father, Kevin Woodwin, who is her son's biological father served her with court papers. He's taking her to court for custody of Finley, and Scottlynn doesn't want that to happen so she is going to tell the police about what Kevin did to her. About how he raped and impregnated her.
A few minutes later, Mollie walked into the station, she saw Scottlynn or at least someone who she thought was Scottlynn with a little boy who couldn't be more than one.
"Mom?" Mollie questions "Mommy?"
Scottlynn turned around to face Mollie, "Mollie? Baby, what are you doing here?"
"My...um...mama works here." Mollie stated "What are you doing here, mom?"
"You got adopted? Good for you, Mol." Scottlynn replied "I'm here to talk with one of the detectives, but they all seem to be busy."
Mollie shook her head, "It's not finalized yet. It will be in a few months though." Then she asked, "Why do you need to talk to one of the detectives? Are you in trouble, mom?"
"Sort of. I need help." Scottlynn stated "This little boy, his biological father who's my old foster father is filing for custody. I want to prevent that from happening so I'm going to take him to court for what he did to me. Hopefully he'll go to jail."
Mollie nodded and then asked, "What's your baby's name? How old is he?"
Scottlynn nodded and then said, "This is Finley Ellis. He's sixteen months."
"Hi." Finley said as he waved
"Hi buddy." Mollie replied to the little boy
"Okay well bye mom. It was nice seeing you." Mollie told Scottlynn "I'll talk to my mama or her Sergeant to see if they could get a detective to talk to you."
Scottlynn nodded, "Okay thanks. Bye baby. It was nice seeing you too."
"Bye bye." Finley said
A while later after Scottlynn talked with Mollianne, Olivia came over and talked to Scottlynn.
"Hi I'm Olivia. Mollianne said you're her sister and that you needed to talk to a detective." Olivia stated
Scottlynn nodded, "I'm Scottlynn. I need help."
"Okay Scottlynn, how can I help you?" Olivia asked
Scottlynn took a deep breath, "This little boy is my son, Finley. He's sixteen months. My old foster father is Finley's biological father, and he's fighting for custody." Then she added, "I want to testify against him in court to send him to jail. He...um...he ra...raped me when I was barely thirteen, and I'm almost fifteen now."
Olivia nodded, "Okay. I have a quick question. Why did you take so long to tell someone?"
"I guess I was l afraid no one would believe me." Scottlynn shrugged "No one has ever believed me before. I'm just a foster kid."
"Okay well let's go talk in that room over there and you can tell me what happened that night." Olivia told the girl
Scottlynn nodded, then walked over to Mollianne and placed Finley on her lap, "Watch him for me please, baby?"
"Of course, mom." Mollianne replied as she held Finley on her lap.
Scottlynn smiled and then followed Olivia into the meeting room. After they sat down, Olivia told Scottlynn, "Okay tell me what happened. It's okay if you need to pause in between. Just take your time. Start with his name."
Scottlynn nodded and took a deep breath, "So his name is Kevin Woodwin and it started out as a pretty normal night. He was usually nice to us but on this particular night he came home drunk and on steroids. Mollianne didn't know and she asked him for help with her homework as she ran to greet him." Then Scottlynn paused at took a deep breath, "We'd been staying with him for almost a year so my sister called him papa and he never minded, but on this night he did and he pushed her down when she tried to hug him. Mollianne fell backward and knocked over one of his late wife's favorite vases. I ran over and stood in front of my sister afraid that she'd get hit because he raised his hand like he was about to. His hand met my cheek with a stinging slap." Then she paused again and breathed deeply. She felt her breathe waver so she took another deep breath, "Then he picked me up roughly by my shirt and dragged me to his room. He threw me down on the bed and locked his door. I watched as he took off his pants and listened as my sister banged on the door and cried. Then he ordered me to take off my clothes, but I was so scared that I couldn't move so he ripped off my clothes and got on the bed on top of me." Scottlynn pauses and starts to cry as she remembered how painful it was and how much it hurt.
"You're doing great, sweetie." Olivia complimented "Could you tell me a little more? It's okay if you can't."
Scottlynn nodded and sniffled, "I think I can." Then she added, "Then he stuck his penis inside of me which really hurt. It make me feel like my privates were burning. He ra...raped me for a while though it felt like forever. When he was done I was bleeding." Then she cried, "Please don't make me say anymore. I can't. Please it hurts."
Olivia held Scottlynn's hand in hers gently, "It's okay. You did really great, sweetie. Thank you. You helped a lot. I'll talk to my boss and see what we can do to help you."
"Thanks for helping me and believing in me." Scottlynn replied with a small smile
Olivia smiled back, "You're welcome. It's my job to help victims. Plus it doesn't sound like you made that up. You gave great details and you are visibly shaken."
