Dear Tania,

The Mercy Corps committee has continued to attempt to explore the complaints which
you have made about your father, and have maCe at least a little progress. As I stated
in my last letter to you that verifiable ciata is essential in dealing with situations such as
this. As ycu directed our attention to some of youi'faiher's unhealth,l' interpersonal
skills, nranipulative i r:elieve you sari, 'rye have lcieriiifieci several instances of this in
his relationship with lvlercy Coi'ps peopie an,J issues and therefcrre u/e are now ;n the
process of therapeutically confronting this. This is enabling us tc stoD the
inappropriateness while guiding him to appropriete cehaviors.
While he has admitted with significant rernorse the fact that he cjid not provide
protection for you in your very early years, when you were left in the care of persons
that took advantage of your innocence, he is equally aiamani that some of the more
severe behaviors that you accused him of did not occut'. As vre have not been able to
obtain the cooperation of the home room teaciier that you first complained to, nor have
we received pages cf the Ciarv urhich you ha're kept, w: do not have sufficient
confirmed evidence to proceed as decisively as we woulc iike. I have enclosed an
article from the Seattle Times about a sinrilar situation that illustrates the impartance of
this kind of information, for in this instance an abusive ieacher would have gone free
had the diary not been produced. This is the irnportance of your diary to us.
You stated to us that one of your great frustrations was that no one would listen to you
o:.believe you. As part of your story does check out, I hope you will realize that we are
attempting to listen to you, but as we are bound by the rules of fairness to your father
as well as to you, I hope you will help us fill in tlre gaps as we are requesting. We do
1oi neecj an eniii'e <liary, oui ;i a p'ct.Ee u iiic il'cl-rt-;i're lirtre ii-ui,l age i2 tc your firsi
hospitalization might be the data we need.
Best wislre5 for your new school year,
..,t
