Would you kill for me?

One night after her abusive stepfather got drunk and passed out, 11 year-old Mary Elizabeth Bailey’s mother put a gun in her hand and ordered her to kill him. Later, Mary’s mother told authorities that the child had acted on her own – but the truth came out and her mother went to prison. It would take more than three decades for Mary to make peace with what she was forced to do — and also to repair her relationship with her mother.
