AHall80:Just got an e-mail from my brother that’s stressingmeout
RubyMars:Everythingokay?
AHall80:Some asshole was picking on my sister and she hadn’t toldanyone
RubyMars:Picking onherhow?
AHall80:He works for my dad. From what my brother knew, he’d been coming on to my sister… touching her even though he knew she doesn’t like to betouched
AHall80:I’m shaking from how fucking pissedIam
AHall80:I’m all the way over here and I can’t do anything,youknow
RubyMars:This is going to sound stupid and presumptuous, but I’m getting pissed off and she isn’t related to me. How did hefindout?
AHall80:My dad was looking through security film after someone fell and saw it. He asked my sister about it and she admitted he’d been doing it for a while. It wasn’t anything… inappropriate because he’d be dead by now if that was the case, just her arms and shoulders, stuff like that. Not a big deal for most people, but it is for her. I’ve gotten two hugs from her her whole life. She doesn’t… know how to react to people… what to say, how to interact, so she gets pretty quiet and doesn’t make eye contact… that kind ofthing.
AHall80:That’s my littlesister,Ruby.
AHall80:I’mshaking
AHall80:I canbarelytype
RubyMars:If that was my little sister, I’d feel thesameway.
RubyMars:What did your dad orbrotherdo?
AHall80:He fired him, but that doesn’t change much. Everyone knows she’s autistic and this asshole took advantageofher.
AHall80:I’msorry
