Thank you.
My next comment is to the Smith family. I'd like to thank you for being here. I'd also like to thank you for telling the story of how your daughter was taken in by someone who represented himself like that. I had heard stories like that, but this was the first story we've heard at this committee. From what I hear, that's how a number of young girls do become involved and are taken in.
As the mother of a 19-year-old daughter, I heard your story and thought, “There but for the grace of God, go I”, and my family too. I want to thank you for the bravery and courage that must take, and for the work you've done in your daughter's name.
Also, thank you for bringing a picture to show us that she was a beautiful girl, and that she is still very much a part of your family.
Do I have time to ask a question to the Smiths?
