“When I look at my daughter that I love as much as it is possible for a human heart to love, I ask myself if it is fair for her to live here,” Vick in Brazil wrote in a comment translated from Portuguese by The New York Times. “This country has a facade, a very fake and not well-built one.”

The commenter continued: “They say this country is safe. That is a lie, we are robbed every day, people die in front of us, parents bury their children, children who many times die in the arms of their parents, children who are victims of the tyranny of others, others who are rich and powerful and others who are poor and have nothing to lose, and having nothing to lose gives them strength to take away the most precious thing we have: the right to live!”
