This is the first I've read about this, Ric. I feel so bad for you I don't know what to say. I've never experienced anything like that because I live in a small town and people treat each other more like human beings.
Just reading about this makes me sick. I'll pray for your family.
P.S. I know you said not to, but I really would get out of wherever you are in Brazil. If you moved up to where I am, I think you would have a totally different outlook on life.
