She was abusive • ‘Girrrrl, I will beat your ass into bad health!” • “Mack, go ahead hit her, and Tina you bet not hit him back!” • She was a drug addict… • “I may be using drugs, but my children are clean, well-mannered and go to school everyday” • She was alone • “Tina, I got to go now”, he said sadly.

  7. Tina knew HUNGER • “SSHHH, be quiet boy! You want to eat, don’t you? Tina said as she and her brother rummaged through the alley trashcans. • “It’s 6:30 in the morning! Does your mother know where you are? The teacher asked Tina and her brother as they hungrily waited for school breakfast to begin.
