Former Miami Dolphin Victor Rivas Rivers highlights his life of being abused
By Arooj Ashraf, La Prensa Correspondent
A 12-year old boy walked into the police station, stripped his clothes and revealed a horrific canvas of burns, welts, and bruises on his body.
He declared his father was the culprit—torturing him, his mother, and siblings and pleaded to the police to go arrest him. But the officers could only file a complaint and drive the boy back home to his misery. “That boy was me, and the year was 1967,” said Victor Rivas Rivers, author of ‘A Private Family Matter’, actor and advocate against domestic violence.
