Cop remembers babysitting hooker when she was a little girl

The police officer remembers Melissa carrying around a rag doll. He remembers her trying to roller-skate down the sidewalk. He can still see her swinging in her back yard, ponytails flying. Years later, he arrested Melissa for selling herself for $8 and a Baby Ruth bar. But he worked to get her help, and the story is actually really sad but well written and touching. It, honestly, brought a tear to my eye like good journalism and good writing does. Link via Obscure.
