Alleged Female Victim 03
Edna and Antonio treat us well, but before they would hit us. Edna would hit the children on their bottoms with a thick stick she called “the correctional”. Antonio would spank us on our bottoms with a belt, but now he doesn’t because he has heart problems and he really doesn’t watch us any more. Joshua used to hit us too, but ever since he had his child he doesn’t any more. He would smack us in the face for anything and he would hit us with the belt. A little while ago we had some officials come and ask us to tell them the truth on how we were being treated and that they were not going to say anything to anyone, but Edna found out what we said and we got in trouble. She told us we were liars because we said we didn’t have shampoo, toothpaste, shoes and if we did have some, but we ran out we couldn’t get any more. I have a friend who they took to another orphanage; they say that where she is it is very ugly. They took her away because she was seeing an older man named Octavio Susunaga, he was the chauffer. They would see each other behind the girl’s dormitories or outside, but I don’t know what they did because I would not go with them. I only knew that they saw each other. I also know that they sent each other letters. They took her with to get checked with another friend to see if she was pregnant, but she wasn’t.
