This has to be the most heartbreaking wish list in the
history of the world. And yet, I never imagined I would be this grateful to Santa Claus.
A nine-year-old girl from Texas decided to ask for something monumentally
important for Christmas this year, giving a whole new meaning to the childhood
belief that if you ask Santa for what you want, he’ll give it to you. The girl
wrote a letter to Santa asking him to make one of her relatives stop touching
her and her sister. She turned the letter, which may have been for a school
assignment, in to her elementary school. It somehow got into the hands of a
school counselor, who arranged for the child to meet with a children’s advocacy
group.
As a result of the meeting, 55-year-old Andres Enrique Cantu,
whose relationship to the girl is not being disclosed to protect her identity,
is being held on charges of continuously sexually abusing a young child for
four years. He faces a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison.
Thank you, Santa.
