DAMAGED Cathy Glass Heartbreaking Tale Of Child Abuse

Damaged by Cathy Glass. A heartbreaking true story of a forgotten child.

Soft cover, good condition.

A deeply moving story of how one foster carer's profound patience and love unlocked a little's girl's darkest, most painful secrets.

Cathy Glass had fostered fifty children over twenty years but none of them had been as disturbed as Jodie, a troubled eight year old whose violence and aggression had seen off five foster carers in just four months.

When Jodie arrived, Cathy had no idea what lay beneath Jodie's shocking behaviour, whcih included smearing faeces all over the house, erupting into violent rages and even cutting herself. Little by little, as Jodie's rage was met with patience and understanding, she began to trust Cathy, and to confide the dredful background which had led to her present torment.

Jodie's childhood had been an appalling litany of mistreatment and neglect, whcih should have alerted the numerous social work proffessionals involved with her case. Jodie's case file was so big it filled two suitcases, but apparently not one of her social workers had ever read her entire file. If they had, Jodie's story and her future might have been very different. Finally, in Cathy, Jodie found one adult worthy of her trust, one who could help her begin the process of recovery.
