I have been distracted and missed not being ale to return to make post regularly but I have been focused on writing an academnic paper and have a thesis to start writing soon. I hope that there are men and woman who come to read my blogs. I write in memory of my daughter hoping to make a difference in someone's life. I write because I hope that other woman will come here to read my post and to post their responses, as well as their stories. I know there are other mothers, sisters, brothers, dads, and families who have suffered because of rape, assault, drugs, murder, or maybe their child or sister or wife or mother went out alone and there was no one to look out for her and something bad happened and they never came bac home.
That is what happened to my daughter. Her boyfriend, rapper Abstract Rude, had left her a message to come over to his studio late one night, and after she had returned from walking home from a club with a friend. She walked over to Abstract's studio (Ocean Floor), which was a block and half away. But her friend said that when he walked her home and said good night to her before she walked over to the studio, she looked radiant and happy. She then walked over to the studio. She walked there alone. Apparently, 45 minutes after arriving, my daughter fell to the floor at the studio. She was having a seizure and went into a coma. Abstract Rude (Aaron Pointer) didn't call 911. One of his band members tried giving her mouth-to-mouth, But, they didn't call 911. She died there. Abstract denied knowing or seeing anyone spke her drink with GHB (http://www.theantidrug.com/drug-information/commonly-abused-drugs/ghb.aspxand ) .He and his band members claimed my daughter came there high on GHB, which would have been physically impossible because she has just walked 11 blocks home from a club and another 1.5 blocks to the studio. GHB reacts in the body within 10 to 15 minutes depending on the amount. The amount in her body was significant. Abstract told me he laid beside her on the palette but he wasn't aware she was dying. How could he not know that she quit breathing? He said he heard her shallow breathing.
He and his manager and band members drove her to the hospital dead-on-arrival. The hospital attendants said the bands story was sketch and that the band manager dropped them at the hospital and then went back to the studio. My daughter died because someone spike her drink with enough GHB to kill someone and, yet, no one was held accountable. The police said that the band members were probably too high and probably too afraid to call for medical assistance, and let her die. What kind of a man is Abstract Rude? http://www.myspace.com/abstractrude I remember the assistant district attorney (San Fancisco) telling me that my daughter was "in the wrong place at the wrong time!" What an pathetic thing to say. He also told me "Well, if this was the midwest there would be a lynching but this is San Francisco and anything goes here, the juries have heard it all." Abstract/Aaron Pointer, his manger, and his band claimed they knew nothing about the Ghb but there were significant amount still remaining in her blood even after she died. Ghb metabiolizes quickly out of the body, but there were still large quantities in her blood. They were the ones with the GHB and they knew how her drink got spiked.
How could something so senseless happen? I am wrting a book about it. I already wrote a memoir about what happend but now I am writing a fiction based on the memoir and hope to get the story published. I will be posting chapters here once I have a few chapters edited. It is unbelieveable Abstract, his manager and band were responsible for my daughter's death but there lives were not interupted. They are out there making music and living life but they frivously wasted the life my daughter was living. I think there is a cultural bias among American men that administering date-rape drugs to unsuspecting young girls and women is okay if they can get away with it. The DA said to me, your daughter was trusting, she thought because she was for real that other people were too. You can't trust anyone with your drink or with your life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEJYEauuoY8
