THEM. MAKE THIS STOP.
>> WAKE UP FROM THIS
NIGHTMARE. I WANT TO RENT AND
FINE, TRISTAN, THAT I’M NOT.
BUT THE REALITY SHE THE PAIN I
FELT AND EVERY YEAR BECAUSE I
WATCH MY DAD LYING ON THE
FLOOR SCREAMING IN A WAY NO
HUMAN SHOULD EVER BE ABLE
PRODUCE. OUR FAMILY BROKE THAT
DAY AND I DON’T RECOGNIZE ANY

DESCRIBE THE TRAUMA. THEY FEEL
DAILY, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION,
PTSD AND COUNTLESS SLEEPLESS
NIGHTS. ALL OF THEM HAVE ONE
REQUEST FROM THE JUDGE TO PUT
HER KILLER 60 YEAR-OLD AIDEN
FUCCI IN PRISON FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE.

HAPPENED ON MOTHER’S DAY 2021.
