Chapter Two (Warning: Graphic child abuse scene in this chapter)

When Dr. Donner was telling Joey about a little girl who was only four years old and how her father had been abusing her for the last five months and how her mother was a drug addict and that she couldn't stop the abuse, well Joey reacted like any person would he was furious but because he was a professional he couldn't allow his feelings to get in the way of helping this sweet little girl.

Dr. Donner also told Joey that all the sessions that he would have with Heather would be taped he agreed and so when he entered the room where Heather was and he noticed her reaction to his presence, Joey decided to do what he always did to get his younger sister to talk to him he would sit down and ignore her and hopefully it would work and she'd talk to him first.

As he walked into the room and went to sit down, he noticed the questioning look on her face when he didn't approach her and then as she picked up one of the dolls that were in the room and she started talking to it, Joey was listening to what she said and taking notes. He didn't look directly at her but he could see what she was doing as he would glance at her and then he noticed that she had gotten up and walked over to where he was sitting and then through her tears she asked him "Why did he hurt me?"

Joey looked at her then and he softly said "I really don't know. Sometimes the people who are suppose to love and protect us do really bad things to us and now we have to try to find a way for you to understand that none of what happened was your fault."

Heather looked at him and as tears ran down her little face she cried "I loved my daddy and he still hurt me, now I hate him."

Joey knew exactly how she felt because how she felt, but now he had to try to help this little girl realize that she wasn't at fault and then maybe she could start getting better.

Heather walked over to where he was sitting and she held up her arms and asked "Will you hold me please?"

Joey picked her up knowing that it really wasn't acceptable for him to do that, but she didn't have anyone else to show her that she really was a good girl and he thought "To hell with the rules, if she needs a little love then I'm going to give it to her." What he didn't know was that when Dr. Donner witnessed what was going on, he was proud of this young man for showing this little angel the love she needed and he would have done it too.

In order to keeps that father from having his Attorney petitioning for custody of his daughter because the authorities didn't have anything to show that he did molest his daughter. He tried to tell the police that it wasn't him but a friend of his that did it to his daughter but if they could get the child to tell what her father did to her then they would have a better case against her father and she would them be placed in the custody of the state and that way her father couldn't get near her.

Joey knew all of this and it really bothered him that he had to get this little child to tell what her father did to her, but he also knew that without this information her father had a good chance of getting her back again and he might kill her for telling the daycare worker about what was going on.

So he had been watching and listening to her talk to the stuffed animals and dolls and wondering if she would talk about what had happened to her and then one day about a week later that it all came to a head when Heather was the room and there at one of the tables was two dolls that looked like a daddy doll and a doll that looked like a little girl and she went over to that table she started slamming the daddy doll into the table and she started crying and saying why, why did you put your finger inside my private area and it hurt and you laughed and did it again and again and then you took your pee pee and put that inside of me and I screamed and screamed and begged you to stop but all you did was slap me and told me to shut my goddamn mouth and you kept hurting me and when it was over there was blood all over my legs and the bed and then you stood there laughing and you said "That's for your mommy not doing what she was suppose to do for me."

Joey sat there and tears were flowing down his face as he witnessed what had happened to this little angel and when she stopped screaming she looked up and saw him sitting there and she ran to Joey and as she threw herself into his arms she begged him "Don't let my daddy hurt me anymore."

Dr. Donner witnessing this he picked up the phone and called the detective who was on this case and he said "We have all the evidence that you'll need, but this child will not be questioned by you or anyone else at the department. She has completely fallen apart and god knows if she'll ever be the same again. Please get that bastard and make him pay for what he did to that baby."

Back in the room, Dr. Donner saw that Heather had fallen asleep in Joey's arms and tears were still falling from her eyes. It was then that he made a vow, that child would never know that kind of abuse ever again.

Joey looked down into the face of this precious child who had fallen asleep as he was humming a song that he use to sing to his sister, he then vowed that she wouldn't ever have to face that kind of abuse ever again.
