To whoever's reading this: I trust you. If I didn't, you wouldn't be reading this letter. I need to keep this brief, because if I've given it to you, it means we're running out of time. I've looked up different types of abuse and I don't know if I'm overreacting. She hurts me and her boyfriend does stuff to me that isn't allowed and I don't get a lot of food. I think I'd like help, but I don't know how to say it out loud because I'm scared. I'm sorry for causing trouble.

Ben.
