**Description for YouTube Video – Protecting Lives: Araceli’s Story of Overcoming Domestic Abuse**

[![Protecting Lives: Araceli’s Story of Overcoming Domestic Abuse](video_thumbnail.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID)

This emotional interview is conducted at Araceli’s request in order to protect her life. Originally, all monetization from this video was intended to support women who are victims of domestic abuse. However, due to the malicious intentions of certain individuals accusing Araceli and Silvia of profiting from this situation, all monetized videos associated with “#tengomiedo”(I’m afraid) have been taken down.

For the past year, Araceli has been receiving therapy from a clinical psychologist, and Silvia Olmedo’s role is not to replace the therapist but to raise awareness about the vulnerable situation that Araceli is living in.

*Note: The following transcript contains sensitive content related to domestic abuse.*

Araceli: “This is not the first time he has physically assaulted me or my mom. It couldn’t have been just ten headbutts and me trying to defend myself. If there were really ten headbutts, I wouldn’t be here recounting them. He has been in jail before, and all I asked for was a restraining order so that he couldn’t come near me again. I genuinely wanted to earn money, but I could have reported him for child exploitation. He mentions ‘gomita’ all the time during the hearings, but I am Araceli, not ‘gomita.’ I’m his daughter. I’m scared that he would pay someone to hurt me. [Music]

Silvia: “Two years ago, I interviewed you, Araceli, but that interview wasn’t released until a year or a year and a half later. I didn’t want to face the consequences from the production company for airing a program that I didn’t want to release. Later, what I suspected could happen, actually happened. I didn’t want to be the trigger. That happened in September, right?”

Araceli: “Yes, I didn’t think I would be here with you again, talking about my life in a more profound way. I mean, the strength to let go of everything that I had been living for a long time. I am scared. I am terrified because I feel like my life is in danger now that the person I used to live with is no longer here. Now that I have finally reported him. I didn’t report my father because his attitude towards his daughter has been arrogant and challenging for me during the hearings. It has been challenging to raise my voice and overcome my fears while fearing something would happen to me. Yesterday, there was a sentencing for your dad, right?”

Araceli: “Yes, it lasted a year. Yesterday was the day when they gave him the sentence. He received a one-year sentence, which is the minimum because they could only accuse him of physical violence. Since there were no other severe charges, like almost killing me, he didn’t receive the maximum sentence of six years. He received one year in prison, but it can be paid with a fine of 4,000 pesos, which means he can avoid going to jail by paying that amount. So, you’re telling me that if someone is sent to jail, they can buy their freedom with 4,000 pesos?

Silvia: “If talking about this hurts you, let me know, Araceli. You can tell me if you don’t want to discuss it further.”

Araceli: “Silvia, this is what happened. On September 2nd, I came back from a trip to Guadalajara. I had just spoken to my mom because we hadn’t seen each other for two weeks. I noticed something was off. Whenever something happened in the house, I could tell by her behavior. She would become quiet or distracted, like when you talk to her, and she zones out. So, I asked her what was going on, but she didn’t want to tell me. I had a video call with my psychologist, and I told him that I was worried about my mom. Since I don’t live with her, it’s difficult for me to find out if something happens unless my siblings tell me, but they don’t say anything. The only person who used to tell me some things was our aunt, who also worked with us. So, I asked my mom’s permission to ask my aunt if she knew anything. My mom said that the best thing was for me to ask her directly. So, my strategy was to tell her that I had talked to the psychologist and that he wanted me to find out what was going on. We both had the same psychologist at that time. I talked to her, and she confirmed that my dad had locked her up again, this time in the closet since they had just moved to a new house. He removed one of the hooks and threatened her that if she didn’t do it herself, he would harm her. He said that she would eventually kill herself. So, I said to my mom, ‘I’m coming over.’ I took the first flight from Guadalajara to Mexico City. When I arrived, I asked my mom to pick me up at the airport, and she did. My dad called multiple times because he knew something had happened or that I had found out. He called me and said, ‘Your mom isn’t answering the phone.’ I replied, ‘She’s with me. She won’t answer until she gets here.'” (Continued in the video…)

Esta entrevista se ha realizado a petición de Araceli con el objetivo de proteger su vida. Inicialmente toda la monetización se iba a dedicar a apoyar a mujeres víctimas del maltrato, pero dada las malas intenciones de algunas personas que acusan Araceli o Silvia de quererse lucrar económicamente de esta situación se han sacado todos los videos que monetizan el video #tengomiedo

Araceli lleva un año recibiendo terapia de un psicólogo clínico, el papel de Silvia Olmedo en ningún caso es el de sustituirlo sino de dar visibilidad a la situación de vulnerabilidad que vive Araceli.
