One woman's story of abuse as a child

Victim of domestic child abuse, Shaneda Daly, says that no child should have to suffer at the hands of those who should protect them.

My Christmas wish this year is to help break the silence around sexual abuse in families.

I’m a survivor and my own memories of Christmas are still disturbing. My father would wake me on Christmas morning by putting his hands under my blankets to molest me. Later that day he would rape me. I have loads of memories of playing with different toys I had received while my father would have sex with me or molested me. I would just block him out.
