Mary was in her own place until her son’s father died. Barely scraping by, she met a man on an online dating site. After seeing him for a while, the man asked her to live with him. Upon arriving at his place, she found he lived with another woman in an apartment occupied by eight other people. She was forced to do all the chores and sexual favors on demand. At night, she and the baby were forced to share the couple’s bed. Thankfully she found Ruby’s Place, a shelter for abused women. They were able to help her find a new place to live and a part-time job as a CNA.
