Читать книгу Damaged: The Heartbreaking True Story of a Forgotten Child - Cathy Glass, Cathy Glass - Страница 7

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.
