Teddy's message to the world:
This teddy, named Tasha, was groomed and abused by her stepfather. One day, Tasha had enough and went and told on him. She told her friends, her family, the police, lawyers, and a judge and a jury. In the end, the jury couldn't see the truth and they set her stepfather free. She's sure that those who read this now will know the truth though. That you'll know that this teddy didn't lie, that she isn't bad and didn't deserve what happened to her. Tasha knows that his being found not-guilty does not mean that SHE is guilty, though. She knows that she is safe now, and that anyone worth being in her life believes her truth and believes in her. Thank you for hearing and believing her.
