My dad was convicted of sexually abusing me when I was a child. Today, he could introduce himself to you under a completely different name. You could work with him. Live next door to him. Trust him. And have absolutely no idea what he did to his own daughter. He changed his name after leaving prison and now lives in a new area. This is why I'm speaking out and we NEED Della's Law.
