Todd Blanche's confirmation brings one Epstein survivor to center stage

(NPR) In the early morning hours in a quiet New Jersey suburb, Dani Bensky struggles to get her energetic, wannabe "ninja" out the door and to school. Her son Dax bounces around the house throwing impressive kicks that only the agility of a 6-year-old allows.

Bensky's home is littered with kid stuff: A small backpack rests on the floor, red and purple kindergarten scribbles hang on the fridge, and a half-full Danimals smoothie sits on the kitchen table. A stuffed rabbit called "Mommy Bunny" watches over the pair when they eat breakfast.

But it's hard to miss the signs of her other life — the one consumed by the abuse of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
