For years the aggressor has beaten almost all the members of the young woman’s family, without the Justice having acted definitively. “She always goes unpunished, the police take her out of the house and come back the next day.”
An 18-year-old girl published a video in her networks where she tells, with her face full of bruises, how she was beaten by her stepfather and mother, after a meeting at her home last Saturday in Bogotá, capital of Colombia.
Laura Camila Godoy VasquezAs identified in the clip of about nine minutes, he relates that he heard his brother cry, went out to see what was happening and saw that his mother’s husband, who was drunk, was scolding his son. After the intervention of an uncle, the minor was able to go to his room.
However, the attacker attacked the young woman, who was taken to hospital. Godoy Vásquez affirms that it is not the first attack he has received, so he asked that the situation not go unpunished as on previous occasions.
The story of the beating
According to the young woman’s account, she was preparing to prepare something to eat for her brother when, in the middle of an argument, her stepfather attacked her. “He jumped on me to hit me with a fist. My aunt, seeing what was happening, got in and at this moment a struggle began,” he says.
After that first attack, Laura Camila hid in the bathroom, but some screams made her come out and she saw that her mother and her aunt were arguing. “My mom supported and defended her husband“.
The girl tried to mediate in that conflict and asked them to calm down. “At that moment my mom grabbed my hair and she was pulling it, in my reaction to defend myself, I attacked her so that she would let go of me, I pushed her, “she says.
While she was attacked by her mother, her stepfather grabbed her and dragged her across the floor. “She began to beat me, I tried to defend myself but at one point she hit me with a fist or a kick and I fell to the floor almost unconscious, I couldn’t move for like a minute. “
In that state, she got up and again the aggressor unloaded against her. “It started me again to hit kicks, fists, to pull my hair and tell me things. When I felt that I no longer had the strength to continue fighting, I curled up on the floor and covered my face. “
What happened next?
The young woman’s uncle managed to corner the main aggressor and she took the opportunity to take refuge in the bathroom and from there call the police, her father and several friends.
“I was very bad, I was almost unconscious and I called everyone and told them to help me. When I looked in the mirror I had blood on my faceI was back to nothing and that made me more upset. “
Later her aunt, who also had bruises on her face, told her that she could leave now because her stepfather had been taken from the apartment. The young woman’s father went to find her and took her to the hospital.
The next day he went to the Prosecutor’s Office to file the complaint. “They told me that it was a process that had to be dealt with quickly so that no one else was injured,” since she and a minor live in the house of the aggressor.
“I want to make a public complaint, it is not the first time that it happens, it has attacked my father, my mother, my uncles, my grandmother, practically the whole family, but it always remains unpunished, the police take him out of the house and come back the next day“.
In the video, her voice cracking, the girl says: “I want justice to be done and they take me as an example that you don’t have to put up with absolutely any abuse from any person, “adding that she always expected her mother to” do what a mom is supposed to do but she didn’t. ” because she allowed them to “hurt her many times“.
