Kudos to my Mom as well as yourself for all that you both have done and that you remain doing to this day.

The girls appear to have been well looked after, but as they settle and start to talk of life at home, it becomes clear something is badly wrong. Then a chance remark sets in motion a chain of events that eventually changes everything. year-old Dawn is a sweet girl, who seems well adjusted. She comes to live with Cathy and her family, and it’s going well. Dawn is maybe used to a little more freedom, and she isn’t familiar with structure. But you would never think that this well-balanced girl is actually masking a childhood of trauma, having been abused by the people who were supposed to love and care for her.

It’s 3 long days that Cathy spends anxiously worrying about Alice’s whereabouts. She is finally found safe and unharmed but traumatised from the experience. Poor Alice is so young and vulnerable, and Cathy’s family take her in immediately. They all become very protective of little Alice. Finding A New Home Angie, 6, and sister Polly, 4, are utterly distraught when they arrive to stay with foster carer Cathy Glass. Their older half-sister Ashleigh has accused their father of something horrible, and the two young sisters have been removed from home to keep them safe.
