I am still half naked, blood on my body from him still coming at me, applying pressure when a child tells me they see the lights I put my lime green workout shirt back on bra-less and thank God someone has arrived. To help, John, the children and me.
The female officer starts off by asking me if I remember her from my husband's father's picnic? Ummm no she tells me she knows his family. Okay, still do not know her. I tell her what I remember and that my daughter saw him choking me. She starts walking me outside, in my bare feet I tell her I am sick can we go inside. She tells me as she is handcuffing me that it is just so she can ask me questions that I am not being arrested. She leads me to the couch. I beg her to put a blanket down as I am soiled in urine from John choking me to the point of almost passing out. They take my children and put them in a room. More questions. Animal control picks up my dog and takes her. A "Bud" person from DSS Social Services in Spotsylvania County comes and I give him the events of the night. I beg him to please no put my kids in foster care to call the only person I thought was close and awake. John's parent's "Chuck" & Shirley Morris (even though they had known John's history of abuse, seen pictures and had feared him enough to raise his oldest son now 25, Christopher). Bud agreed. I was given a GSR test. then escorted, not arrested to the sheriff's office in handcuff's behind my back.
John was a convicted abuser. Charged in 2007, plead out in 2008 with a fresh start program and 2 years good behavior....He always reminded me that if you report me again, the next time I will go to jail for a reason. "I will kill you, the kids and anyone else who comes to take me in."
More shocks to come in my period of realizing John was right on his threat of "My family owns this town" "We are the Morris' of Morris Road and our family has been in this town as far as the books go back, 100 years and we have money, I spent over $100,000 to get Christopher, You will loose."
Where is Robin Hood when you need him to balance the scales between the rich and the struggling? He is actually here among us through the many who comes across this blog and feel led to help. Follow the blog-invite others-make supporting comments and yes even monetary-just think what just $1 on a large scale would help accomplish! So how do we start and where do we send help?
ReplyDeleteMany things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
I don't know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the One Who feeds the sparrow,
Is the One Who stands by me.
And the path that be my portion,
May be through the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I'm covered with His blood.

ReplyDeletethis is my father and any donations would be such a blessing as I have just had papers put on my door that John Morris the attacker is asking for a divorce based on cruelty to him and adultery since 1998. He is acting the victim in this document asking for spousal and child support. John Morris is a active-duty Army under the National Guard Fredericksburg Virginia Armory. Title 32, he makes almost $6,000.00 and I have been an at-home mom for 8 years. My home is in arrears since October 2010 to April 2011 and he still has not followed his Commander's Direct Order to pay spousal support to me that the military allots me as a dependant. He has paid me nothing since stealing $4,300.00 out of my account in October of 2010.
