THE SILENCE

Since my book came out in 2010, people still questioned why I, did not speak out against my ex husband Keith R. Sadler? Those who continue to question, here is my answer....I was no one, he made it clear that no one would believe the abuse I suffered because many of you thought he was more truthful because he was Chief Inspector for the Philadelphia Police Department. So many women, children, and men hide in fear because of many who hold high ranking position on any police dept.. 

The one who was suppose to love and protect them is the one they feared the most. Now, I am that person in the darkness staring right back at you!

Be blessed my family and friends

THE PEOPLE

Since my case against retired state trooper Anthony Suber, the death of my nephew Angel Trinidad, my sister Edina Trinidad, so many survivors who continue to reach out to me…I sat in silence, each time praying and begging that our legal system, our

politicians, lawmakers, police departments, all over this great United States, would start holding these abuser accountable but I realize a change will never take place.

 

My friends my people, my brother’s and sister’s…We must hold those accountable, we must demand from our Politicians, Law makers, police departments and much more!  Let’s not turn away from the victim or survivor…show them they are not alone!

It is up to each and every one of us to stand up…Not protesting or signing petitions….Do you realize the power in each of us!  Keeping silence is wrong, we the PEOPLE can hold them accountable for not doing the right thing.

Be blessed my family and friends.
