Florida Assault Victim Shares Harrowing Story on TikTok: “Girl! Hold On!”
ORLANDO, Fla. — A Florida woman’s TikTok video has gone viral after she revealed disturbing details of childhood sexual abuse, foster care struggles, and family trauma, leaving viewers stunned and supportive as she shared her decade-old story publicly for the first time.
The Story Behind the Viral TikTok
The TikTok user, who goes by @skinny_mini99, recounted her life in 2013, when she and her siblings were placed under the supervision of the Florida Department of Children and Families after she was abused by her father.
She explained that while her family was shuffled through foster homes, the trauma didn’t stop. Addiction, instability, and continued abuse followed them even after being returned to their parents. Eventually, her father was arrested, but not before leaving deep scars on the entire family.
Abuse Shifts Toward Older Sister
According to her account, the focus of the abuse shifted toward her older sister, raising concerns among family friends who questioned the nature of the relationship between the sister and her father.
The truth was revealed in devastating fashion: after her sister gave birth, DNA tests confirmed that her own father was the child’s biological father. This revelation shattered what remained of family trust and exposed the long-hidden extent of the abuse.
Viewer Reactions: Shock and Support
The TikTok video has sparked waves of emotional responses. One top comment captured the collective disbelief: “Girl! Hold on!” Another viewer admitted: “I’m 5 seconds in… I beg your FINEST pardon.”
@skinny_mini99 The true story behind my life. The true crime story that I’ve lived. It has taken a lot to be able to get on here and trauma dump about this whole situation. Please if anyone out there is in this situation get you and your babies out. Nothing is worth staying at that point. I’m very blessed to be on the other side of things without passing on toxic family traits. I know there will be lots of questions and I promise I will do my best to answer each and everyone of you. If you listen to this entire video I appreciate you more than you know❤️ #fyp #truecrime #mylife #familytrauma
Despite the heavy subject matter, the overwhelming tone of responses was one of support and empathy. Many users reassured the woman that she bore no blame for not speaking out as a child.
“Honey you do NOT have to excuse your younger self for not saying anything. You should not have to say anything because that isn’t supposed to happen. I am so sorry,” one supporter wrote.
Lasting Trauma
Even though these events occurred over a decade ago, the woman said the impact remains. Her father is serving time and is not scheduled for release until 2039, but she admitted that the fear of what could happen after his release still lingers for her and her family.
The case underscores how childhood trauma and abuse can leave lasting emotional scars, no matter how much time passes.
Social Media as a Healing Space
While the video shocked viewers, many praised the survivor for using TikTok to take control of her narrative. The platform has increasingly become a space where survivors of abuse and trauma find solidarity, community support, and validation.
Her story serves as a reminder that even lighthearted platforms can become important outlets for truth-telling and awareness.
Do you believe social media has become an important space for survivors to share their stories, or should more support systems exist offline to protect victims before it gets this far? Share your thoughts at SaludaStandard-Sentinel.com.
