From the outside looking in, everyone would have assumed that quadruplets madison, Paris, Tiffany, and Bianca Lucci had it all. After all, they were living in a beautiful large home in Beverly Hills, California, with very successful parents. Their family was very financially secure, and the kids even had a nice backyard swimming pool. But behind the scenes, the family was on the brink of collapse. And their teachers began to notice something was wrong when the girls always came to school starving. At one point, their teachers even started bringing breakfast for the girls to eat.
It turns out that their father had been abusing them, giving the girls less food than their brothers, who he favored much more. He would even beat the girls to such a degree that he once broke one girl’s arm. The school didn’t discover the full extent of the abuse until the girls were in the sixth grade. It was then that one of the girls came to school with a head wound that would soon get the police involved. However, it would still be a while before they were removed from the home. It wasn’t until their mother went out to buy gifts for the kids one evening and never came back, that the police finally stepped in and placed the girls into the foster care system.
At first, the sisters were separated, and they were moved many times between different foster homes. But they also lived in constant fear, because their father continued tracking them down and threatening their foster parents so he could reclaim them. However, no matter what happened, the sisters always kept a strong bond with each other through thick and thin.
“If I had been alone, I don’t know what I would’ve done.
I didn’t have anything.
My sisters are my great support,” says one of the girls.
Today the girls are thriving, having graduated from high school,, and will soon be graduating from college. They used their horrific experience to grow closer as a family and be there for each other.
We will be successful and we will never treat other people like our dad treated us,” say the sisters.
