Thanks for doing this AMA, it is an amazing story and I hope you are happy how your life is turning out. What a great experience that so many people would never be able to have. I am pretty jealous you got to experience two extremes of different life styles on this planet, plus you are really pretty. I do have a few questions also:

• How did you keep in contact with your dad before you went to live with him?

• Why didn't your father try to have both you and your mother come to Australia sooner?

• Where does your mother live now and do you still get to communicate with her?

• What is your goal in life now? Do you want to go to school and get a job like everybody else seems to want to do? or go live back in the rain forest or something completely different?

Also please don't take this the wrong way because it is a crude comparison at best to make but I thought of this movie as soon as I started reading your story: relevant?

I guess what I was asking with how you kept in contact with your father is.... how did you know that he wanted you to come to Australia?

Well he acted in self defense..... why did you set someones car on fire? Obviously you did not do it in self defense.

I saw the summary you gave of what happened and that you were charged with "malicious wounding". My question is do you know why you were charged with that, it seemed like self defense to me? During the court case did they explain the charges or how you could be convicted for defending yourself, its very confusing to me.

I understand that it was probably illegal for a student to have a weapon in school so you should of probably been in trouble for that. In the real world though if somebody kicks me in the balls for no reason and I stab them in self defense I don't really see a problem with that.

Also did you ever think about suing him or pressing legal charges against this person?

Thanks for the AMA and I am really sorry that this happened to you.
