Every summer, the neighborhood churches will host a vacation bible school for the kids...For most parents, this is a great way to get your kids out of the house...
Her mom was no exception. She sent the little girl to every VBS that was going on...
One night, the little girl was eating and she spilled her koolaide. Everyone knows Kool aide stains clothes...well the kool aide got all over her clothes and table top. The dad jumped out of his chair, knocking it over backwards and yanked her up by the arm yelling "you stupid idiot, look what you have done." he gripped her by the arms and shook and squeezed her so hard it left fingerprint marks and bruises all over her upper arm. She was immediately stripped and sent to her room. She did not get to finish her meal.
The next morning, her mom got her up and told her to get dressed for Vacation Bible School. Her arms hurt and when she looked at them, they had dark bruises all over, grip bruises....So she put on two shirts, one with long sleeves to cover the bruises.
Later, at VBS, she was sitting at a table with other kids doing crafts and her shirt sleeves kept getting in the way of the paint and glue, so she absently took off the shirt. And went about doing her project thingy.
One of the VBS leaders of her group, a man, a fucking member of this Baptist church, noticed the bruises. He asked her about them, but she said nothing...finally he said "you must have been a naughty little girl to get those bruises". and in her little head she agreed.
Did this fuck christian try and help her? did he report the bruises to the authorities? Did he ask her parents about them? NOOOOOOO, instead he called her a "naughty little girl" then proceeded to tell the class a Bible story.
She was invisible.
