Legacy Snapshots

Leading advocates reflect or recalled Lieutenant Mark Wynn
No one who has heard Lieutenant Mark Wynn’s chilling description of the terror and brutality that his stepfather rained down upon Mark’s mother and her sons will ever forget the shock and fear experienced by the listener. All will recall Mark’s portrayal of his courageous mother, Mary Parrish. All remember the conspiracy of Mark and his brothers to end the violence. The young boys saw no help from law enforcement and concluded that they must kill their stepfather to protect their mother. Having seen bug spray commercials on television, they put bug spray in their stepfather’s beer. They were stunned when the poison did not work. Shortly thereafter, the family was able to make their escape. Mark has been seeking safety and justice for battered women and children ever since.
