Maybe because my mom used to shop at Puente Hills mall when I was a teenager and we used to pass it on the way to my Grandma’s but this hit home in a way a lot of others didn’t.

The part of the story that really got me was that she was sent to live with her grandparents for having the temerity to report being molested by an adult family member. Just...revolting and sad.
