Demi was a little panicked.

"Also, you can't save much money as a waitress, but you have money to come to Washington?"

"I have some money and my colleagues, they have collected my travel expenses. I found a temporary job in Washington, and I will return to New York after I save the travel expenses. Mrs. Kenneth, can you be my lawyer?"

“Greyhound Bus?”

"right."

That's fine, taking a bus is not expensive.

"You have to know that hiring a lawyer is expensive and costs an hourly rate. It starts at least $100, and you can't afford it. You have also found a private law firm in New York, right?"

Demi nodded slightly.

"Who asked you to come to Washington to find me?"

Demi showed hesitation.

Zhang Wenya said lightly: "I am not in New York, and I am not a lawyer in a law firm. I have never been to court. My reputation is very average in terms of career." It can even be said that I am not famous at all.

Demi stared at her eyes in surprise, "Mrs. Kenneth, no, His Majesty Ania, don't you know you are very famous?"

Zhang Wenya looked at her.

"People say that if there is any difficulty, go to Senator Kenneth, and if there is any legal matter, you will definitely stand up for us - we poor people, just like... like Senator Kenneth back then."

The second Senator Kenneth should refer to New York State Senator Robert Kenneth. It is no exaggeration to say that Robert, who stepped down as Attorney General, turned around and ran to run for Congress, was simply the savior of the poor Americans. He also truly added many practical and good things to the civilians and the following classes, so that more than 30 years later, people still remembered his kindness.

"You said it very well, but not everyone can come to us. Most people do not have this courage. Courage is also important. If people cannot fight for their own interests, there will be no progress in humanity."

Demi admired it very much, "Your Majesty, you said it very well. I... I am... Actually, the lawyer in a law firm I went to said that I could try to come to you. Aclu doesn't accept such cases, but you are different. You can accept any case. Aclu won't stop you."

She was very careful, but Zhang Wenya still heard it. Someone gave her some advice, otherwise how could an ordinary civilian waitress run from New York to Washington? She had a little bit of Kara Shanks's flexibility, but not Kara was not smart.

Speaking of Kara, Zhang Wenya was not angry. It seemed that she was used by Kara, but she did not suffer any losses. Kara used her to get compensation and killed the scumbag who did many evil things. It was truly a way to eliminate harm for the people, so she didn't mind a little harmless use. After all, her level was different. She couldn't really bother with Kara. Instead, she felt relieved. With Kara, a scheming and capable sister, Jeremy could truly live a normal life in the future.

As for Demi, it is one thing to be guided by someone. She is more motivated to really come to Washington. She is also very good at being a human being. She didn't reach out to wait for someone to help her. She could find a job immediately after she came to Washington. She must wait until she agreed to an agent.

Her reputation or "fame" among the American people is very popular. The American people trust her strangely, which is inseparable from the high popularity of Comrade Kenneth. Otherwise, she would be a stock trading billionaire and best-selling writer at most, and would not be enough to make the public trust her.

This is her advantage, and she decided to make good use of this advantage.

"You are right. Aclu won't accept the sexual assault case, but if I want to accept it, they won't refuse." Zhang Wenya changed her posture, leaned forward slightly, and said sincerely: "Demi, I can represent you, but you have to understand that it is not necessary to go to court. If I am not Mrs. Kenneth, then go to court. Win or lose will not affect the next case I will take. No lawyer can win the case 100%.

But I am Senator Kenneth's wife, William is John's cousin, and I can negotiate with William on your behalf now, so that you don't have to go to court, and you don't have to experience the other party's lawyer's difficulties and personal humiliation."

Civil litigation will not be more gentle than criminal litigation, the other party’s lawyer will have the same routine. Zhang Wenya specializes in

I found some New York media reports on "New York State v. William Kenneth Smith" and Aunt Jenny hired a gold medal lawyer for her son's high salary, and Ada lost steadily. The lieutenant general Demi questioned her in a daze and suspected that her life was in chaos.

Demi was still able to hold on until she came to Washington to find her, and she was very persevering.

Demi lowered her head, a little discouraged, "I want to...get a little justice. Why? Why can't the criminals get punished? And I'm scolded just for money? I'm a bad woman?"

Oh, nothing new, it has been like this in ancient and modern times, and both in China and abroad. There is nothing good about the Lighthouse Kingdom. The best way to fight a woman is to humiliate her woman. Coupled with the accusation of greed, the woman is completely finished.

There is nothing new in the Demi case. It is that William relies on his face (just ordinary) and status and "kindly" invites Demi to play after get off work. Demi has no ideological awareness and is very happy. As a result, William touched him in the car. Demi was beaten, and then William, who was not particular, raped Demi in the car.

Just listening to Demi's incoherent narrative, Zhang Wenya felt so disgusting. She confirmed again that her husband is really a strange white lotus among the nobles of the rich and nobles. She has a good character and has no shortcomings except for being a bit macho. Looking at his cousins, half of them are not good things.

Today, in addition to finalizing the agent Demi, we basically decided to settle with William first, and the compensation amount started at least 100,000 US dollars. Zhang Wenya said it was more conservative and did not want to give Demi too high expectations.

After get off work in the afternoon, Kenneth came to pick her up from get off work.

"honey." He went upstairs and went straight to her office, hugging her tightly as soon as he met, and gave her a loving kiss. "There is good news and bad news today. Which one do you want to listen to first?"

"Bad news? What bad news?"

He pretended to be upset, "I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, to Austin, Texas."

Oh, as long as it's not Dallas, it's okay.

"What are you doing in Texas?"

"Work."

Isn't this nonsense? Mr. Senator is very busy, not just Pennsylvania and New York. Voters in fifty states across the United States have written letters and emails to him. He is very busy, and the staff in the office are running at full capacity. The voter department is particularly busy, hiring several interns to handle emails, make phone calls, etc.

He had only one person, and it was impossible to split into several parts for use, so he was very cautious in choosing voter affairs, and most of the staff under him could handle it. Senator Kenneth's name was very useful. No matter who the other party was, few people were willing to risk offending Kenneth and refused to do things much more readily than other Senator's offices.

In 2002, Senator Kenneth was still committed to promoting the rights and welfare of children. He often went out of states to inspect the work of various government departments, attended various industry gatherings, delivered speeches, etc. The wife of the Senator Zhang Wenya is also very busy. She is not a government servant, and she also inspects the work of various departments, but it is not a government department, but a work of some government outsourcing departments. For example, in fact, the child welfare department of the US government coexists with public and private sectors. Each state has private child welfare institutions (mainly charitable organizations), and religious organizations cooperate with the federal government or state governments, so it is amazing. The child welfare institutions are so huge that no one can figure out its organizational structure and specific work scope, and there are many legal provisions.

The child welfare in the United States is already doing very well, but there are still a lot of loopholes and unsatisfactory aspects. However, relying on a large number of ideal social workers, the operation is pretty good, at least much better than countries without child welfare institutions.

There is no harm without comparison. Compared with China, where domestic violence against children is not a big deal, the United States can really be called the lighthouse on earth.

The welfare of children in the United States has been progressing and improving for nearly a hundred years. Currently, the US government has issued a subsidy of 20 billion US dollars a year to effectively implement the rights and benefits of children. Specifically, it is implemented by subsidizing children's parents or guardians, reducing taxes from poor families, issuing subsidies to children, providing free breakfast and lunch for school children, etc.

If the implementation is not done properly, it is not considered for the time being. From the many forms of subsidies, it can be seen that the US government also wants to solve the poverty problem.

Family conflicts are often caused by poverty. When a family’s economic pressure is reduced, children will naturally live a better life. Providing free or low-priced brunch to school students can also ensure that parents are more active in letting their children go to school. After all, they can eat enough at school and the family’s food expenses will be reduced by a large amount.

When Zhang Wenya was studying the American child welfare system, she also felt that the American government also actively treated the poverty problem, but it was not easy to completely solve the poverty problem!

Moreover, strangely, the amount of child welfare issued by the government has increased year by year, but the number of poor children has also increased year by year. Sociologists believe that parents of poor families are more likely to spend on themselves after receiving subsidies, but not on children; the powerful and wealthy United States has four or five million children under the age of twelve are hungry every year, which is really difficult!

Therefore, former President Kerry promulgated the "Personal Responsibility and Employment Opportunities Coordination Act" in 1996, which changed the conditions for helping poor families. Previously, poor single-parent families could receive relief funds until their children were eighteen years old, so many single-parent parents were unwilling to work, worried that the increase in income would lead to a decrease in subsidies; and it also partly led to the increase in the number of childbirths of single mothers, after all, a child is just a sum of money.

After the new law was promulgated, the time for poor single-parent families to receive relief payments was shortened to 60 months (five years), and single-parent parents were required to work several hours a week to increase their enthusiasm for employment.

In 2000, Congress passed the Prevention of Child Abuse and Enforcement Act.

In June this year, Caroline submitted the Children and Family Security Act to the House of Representatives, which was also considered a step further.

After Zhang Wenya gave birth to love literature, she naturally paid attention to the American child welfare policy. She also focused on the topic of children when she delivered a speech. She is really a good wife and mother style. The American people are very fond of this, and her new image of "good mother" is very glorious.
