Boy’s letter to Santa asks for ‘very very very good dad’ after moving to domestic violence shelter

A little boy’s heartbreaking letter to Santa is showing what kids who are living in domestic violence shelters may be dealing with this holiday season.

The 7-year-old child, only identified as Blake, said he and his mother left their home, going to “a safer place where we don’t have to be scared,” CBS News reported.
