Keila was six years old when her stepfather started stalking and abusing her. Within three months of moving in with her stepfather in Brazil, Keila discovered he was watching her while she slept and showered. Keila's stepfather started physically and sexually abusing her, but when she told her mother, Keila was the one blamed for it. She found holes her stepfather made in the walls of their house to watch her in every room, and he started following her when she left the house. After years of constant stalking and abuse, Keila was brutally attacked by her mother and stepfather. She escaped, fled the country, and went into hiding at the age of only fourteen. Keila is coming forward today to let people know that stalking can come in any form, even parents.
