At 17 years old, Naomi Rosado left home after an argument with her mother. Within the year, she would enter an abusive relationship, discover she was pregnant, and her boyfriend would shoot her when she refused to have an abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rosado had moved in with a friend who was living with a boy named Charles Tenpenny. Tenpenny would soon refer to himself as Rosado’s boyfriend, even though she wasn’t exactly keen on the idea. “Deep down,” she told Fabulous Digital, as reported by The Sun<\/a>, “I was terrified of the guy.”<\/p>\n

Rosado says that Tenpenny would get her drunk, and have his way with her. Feeling she couldn’t go home, she stayed. She calls that decision “one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made in my life.” She explained, “He would call me a slut and a whore, or slap me around if he felt like it – and I was too scared to get help.” It was shortly after that abuse began that she first thought she might be pregnant. When she told Tenpenny, he became enraged, she said, telling her, “If you are [pregnant], you are going to get rid of it! You would be an awful mother!”<\/p>\n
