Danny

by Linda Nance

Danny is a story of a young child living a
nightmare life of abuse and neglect. The pain of
abuse at any age, is one that has consequences.
There are those who are stronger and live lives
determined to never repeat the horrors they
endured but there are others who survive in other
ways. Feeling alone and vulnerable allows a
person to be victimized even more in many
instances.

Danny is a story of all that and more. There
may come a day we suspect a person is being
abused and want to help, finding it is more difficult
that we dreamed. If we dare to care and not give
up, one by one we might make a difference. If we
make a difference for even one person, it may
mean the world to that one soul.

The idea that there might be more things in
this world than meet the eye or that we might be
able to see and understand, can give insight to a
story that will take you beyond the abuse into the
world lived by this child. This is more than a story
of abuse and survival. This is a story that may
haunt you in memory but remind us of what there
can be in this world. I hope it reminds us to find
heart, hope and tolerance to those who suffer or
need help. I hope we have the courage to look and
see, trying to make a difference. This is a story
you will know this child and feel from the depths of
his inner-being instead of hearing his story. There
may be a cold chill travel your spine as you begin
to understand even more of this tale. We can call
him Danny, but can we say who he really is?
