"It just breaks my heart. I hurt for her. I know she'll never be the same again." Three years later, Kelly Brignon says her daughter is in therapy and recovering, but their battle is far from over. "It was a place I felt safe," says now 17-year-old Paige Brignon. She grew up going to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie. "I've wanted to work there a long time."
