Former Valley of the Moon Children's Home Resident Tells Her Story
SONOMA INDEX TRIBUNE Tammy Linn was just a young child when her father tried to hang her. He later hung himself in jail. A drug addicted mother and an abusive step-father came next.
“My story is just like any other foster kid, full of abuse and neglect,” Linn said casually.
At 12, she ran away from home; she felt safer with other relatives than around the violence she saw at home. Her step-father came looking for her, kicking in the back door to a relative’s home while trying to find her. Her uncle responded by unloading five bullets into her step-father, killing him.
