Damaged
The Heartbreaking True Story of a Broken Child
In Britain today, there are over 75,000 children in the care of their local authority. These are the lucky ones. Concealed behind this figure are countless others; defiled, abused and undiscovered by Social Services, often until it’s too late.
This book tells the true story of my relationship with one of these children, an eight-year-old girl called Jodie. I was her foster carer, and she was the most disturbed child I had ever looked after. I hope my story will provide an insight into the often hidden world of foster care and the Social Services.
Certain details, including names, places and dates, have been changed to protect the innocent.
To my family for your continuing love, patience and understanding.
