The 5-year-old child cowered in the corner, terrified, as his father threatened his mother. "He was going to cut Mum with an axe. He said, "I'm going to gut you". I felt like Daddy was going to kill me." The child cried on the floor after taking another beating at the hands of his father.
"My dad strangled me and kicked me to the side, and I said, "help" and he said, "help yourself". "I felt angry and scared." Another unimaginable display of cruelty. Another 5-year-old.
