In Daddy, Please Don't Barbara talks about the six years of physical and sexual violence that she suffered at the hands of her sadistic father, often when the rest of her family were in the house. She tells of his repeated threats to kill her if she ever told anyone and the two times he actually tried to murder her. The final attack occurred when she was 18 and as he was raping and choking her, Barbara made a vow if she survived, she would come forward and get some justice against her father.
The shocking details of abuse revealed in the court case in 2002 tore her family apart. As claims of political corruption then emerged, the trial rocked the nation. Through it all Barbara prayed that her nightmare would end and that she would finally find some peace. Daddy, Please Don't is Barbara s story.
