Today’s story involves five child heroes. Their heroic acts  saved their mother from being murdered. These five children all under the age of 14 protected their mother who had been shot, from their very own father.  The man who is supposed to love and take care of them. I don’t cry very often when researching cases but this one definitely put a tear in my eyes. Unfortunately domestic violence is all too common and we don’t hear the true nature of the violence perpetrated inside someone’s home until there is a survivor in a story like this one. Even more rare is hearing about the violence from children who are often the silent witnesses. Four of these five children were rewarded with medals of bravery after the residents of Australia heard about their courageous acts.  This is the survivor story of Rachael Moore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domestic_violence_hotlines https://amp-brisbanetimes-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/i-thought-i-was-going-to-die-children-save-mum-from-domestic-violence-attack-20170324-gv668r.html?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D#aoh=16151293406132&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brisbanetimes.com.au%2Fnational%2Fqueensland%2Fi-thought-i-was-going-to-die-children-save-mum-from-domestic-violence-attack-20170324-gv668r.html https://amp-smh-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.smh.com.au/lifestyle/the-bitter-truth-behind-jaydens-medal-of-courage-20170331-gvat3m.html?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D#aoh=16151293406132&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smh.com.au%2Flifestyle%2Fthe-bitter-truth-behind-jaydens-medal-of-courage-20170331-gvat3m.html https://youtu.be/fgkQndArUXE
