SimpliSafe: https://simplisafe.com/milehigher StitchFix: https://stitchfix.com/milehigher Tanya Nicole Kach had been experiencing a very turbulent few years after her parents divorced, and she had just started 8th grade at a new school. She felt like she couldn’t escape from punishment, didn’t have privacy, and couldn’t trust adults. That’s when she met 38-year-old Thomas Hose, the security guard at her middle school. Thomas groomed young Tanya and eventually convinced her to live with him, hiding her in his son’s bedroom for ten long years. What followed was a decade of abuse, psychological torment, brainwashing, and, eventually, escape.
