Kelly Hitchman hasn't added a story.
This is a true story and nightmare of one mother who was trying to
protect her little girl from a life of abuse, Sara married a man named
David Garcia in 2008. Shortly after they married they had a little
girl named Payton. Three weeks after Sara gave birth to Payton. David
was shipped out to Georgia as he was in the National Guards. David had
only been gone a few weeks when Sara got a phone call from a Mother
who stated that her minor daughter was being abused over the internet
by David. The mother of the victim called the Sheriffs office in
Douglas county and the officer who came out looked at the pictures and
emails and stated that he thought David would have changed after he
got married but he still seems to be a pedophile. Sara received the
pictures also and could not believe
what she saw. She called
David and he told her it was all a lie. Sara being a new mom and
wanting to believe her husband, defended him against the victims
mother. She would later find out that it was all true. After David
returned home from Iraq he became increasingly violent toward Sara and
Payton. He would hit Sara and knock her to the floor while she was
holding her daughter. He would not let her leave the house. He would
tell her if she told anyone about what he was doing to her or Payton
he would hurt her even more. One day after the baby had fallen down,
and Sara tried to comfort her, David became very angry and told her
not to baby Payton. He started yelling and raising his fists at Sara.
Sara's parents told her she needed to have him move out to protect her
and the baby. David was asked to leave. Sara had a hearing for
visitation set up. She tried to petition for only supervised
visitation with David to try and protect Payton.
Three days
before their hearing David's sister Shyann came to Sara and dropped a
stack of papers on our table from hospitals and counselors! She
said" I need to let you know that David raped and molested me and
I cant let this happen to my niece". Sara was now even more
scared for her daughter! When she went to court the judge was told of
the abuse but he didn't believe Shyann and threw out her papers. A
third victim contacted Sara and told her that David had molested her
also, she to had paperwork to prove this. Sara was very scared and
didn't want David to have the opportunity to do these things to her
daughter. The judge didn't care and told Sarah she had to allow David
visitation five days a week one week and two days the next. Sara could
not believe that the judge would put her daughters life at risk! Sara
was scared for her daughter and now David was threatening Sara and
Shyann for testifying against him! The final straw was when Payton
came to Sarah and said daddy hurt my who-ha (private parts)! Sara
could not allow this to happen to her daughter! Sara and Shyanne and
Sara's mom tired to get help from DHS and other local agencys to
protect her and Payton. DHS told Shyanne and Sara's mom that they
could do nothing to help Payton. What kind of world do we live in that
a child has to be hurt to get help?There have already been three other
victims that have come forward and no one helped them!
Sara left
Oregon with her daughter who she has had and taken care of since the
day she was born. She was never told she could not leave and take
Payton with her! Sara knew that the only way to save her daughter was
to get her away from the lawlessness and abuse of the Douglas county
court, law enforcement, and David - Payton's father! Sara was gone for
six months when she found out that David had filed for divorce and
custody of the their daughter Payton. Then he had the judge put a
felony warrant out for her arrest for kidnapping!! Sara was picked up
9-3-13 and put in jail with a ten thousand dollar bond. They then gave
Payton who Sara was trying to save from being abused to the man who
has gotten away with it three times already. Now the lawlessness has
put this little girls life at risk! She is now with strangers and a
father who is a known abuser! My daughter is dying sitting in the jail
knowing that her little girl is being abused and wanting to know where
her mommy is and why she has been taken away! We need your help! We
need to let everyone know the truth about what is going on! We need to
raise money for a lawyer who can take on Douglas County courts and get
Sara a fair trial. Sara and Payton's lives are at stake!
