59 house that reminded her constantly of the things that had happened there, a reason for which she moved in with her grandparents from her mother’s side. These grandparents lived in the village of Chisoda, which was very close to Giroc. A.G.F. continues to live with her grandparents and she did not go to her mother’s house since then. Neither this time A.G.F. did not have any attitude, did not take any action against the person that raped her, preferring, as stated before, to drown her sorrow in alcohol and drugs. In spite of all that, however, she accepted her step-father’s request to take a polygraph test to show the sincerity of her declarations. The test showed that the girl was sincere, that she was in fact raped by Emil, Gelu’s brother. With this information Gelu sent his brother to their mother in Germany and threatened him that if he would ever come back to Romania he himself would hand him to the police with the evidence he had (the report from the hospital and the polygraph test) and for his act he would spend a lot of time in prison. With the move to her mother’s parents, seeing the huge gap that was created between them, A.G.F. decided to resume the connection with her father, someone she has not seen or talked to for more than four years, from the moment her parents got a divorce. Unfortunately, due to his alcohol consumption, the girl’s father had all sort of problems, he had debts all over the village and had developed several health issues. Having re-established contact with her daughter, A.G.F.’s father got used to ask for her help whenever he didn’t feel well or he had a problem he felt he couldn’t solve or manage on his own. The girl ended up visiting him weekly; in every weekend she would go to Cenei to check up on him, to cook for him and to help him manage his household. Seeing the miserable state of her father and his health problems caused by alcohol consumption, A.G.F. decided to quit drinking and any legal drugs, like ethno-botanical drugs. She did not manage to stop smoking pot, marijuana, seeing this as her last and only way to relax and to forget, at least for a short period of time, the terrible moments she went through. As I said previously, once she left her mother’s home for her grandparents she developed this goal to help her father. This goal also helped her with her alcohol and drug consumption. As if all she had been through until now was not enough, the series of tragic events does not stop here as the girl would go through another traumatic event two years later (when she was 16): the third rape. This happened in the village in which her father lived, Cenei, where the child was visiting her father for the weekend. Hearing that her father was dead drunk at the local bar, A.G.F. went there to take him home. As she went on foot, late at night, through the village to the bar, that was located near the village exit, a masked man, with a ski-mask on, jumped her, put his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming and dragged her to a nearby field where he raped her and fled the scene afterwards.
