I still have nightmares 

I am a Washingtonian that was taken away from Harriett Tubman Elementary School by a social worker years ago. The man took me to D.C. Village, where I was taken to Baltimore and put into the foster system. In foster care, I was abused — choked by my foster mother to the point that the circulation to my head was cut off. I wanted to return to D.C. to report on it, but somehow I was brainwashed by a system of circumstances. But I never forgot that, because it was wrong and my foster father saved me. He screamed for her to let me go.
