Victoria Coren Mitchell, 51, reveals she's given birth to her second child after surprise pregnancy with husband David, 49Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade, 27, gets emotional talking to her sibling Stevie, 21, about their childhood and new relationship Following the success of Damaged, you might imagine that a brand new author would have a bit of a cooling off period. This was not to be the case with Cathy Glass. Her next book, “Hidden” was published in 2008, and it was a success in its own right. This book had another memorable character at the center of it, only this child was a far cry different from the explosive Jodie character that Glass had written about in her first book. In the book Hidden, Tayo is the child that is described as being a polite, calm and mild-mannered child that was well spoken. But while he displayed excellent manners and was very well behaved, Tao was hiding a terrible past that no child should have had to live through. This first best-selling book by Cathy Glass is one that will leave you with conflicting emotions. I found myself angry and sad at the same time. Damaged is a book about an 8-year-old girl named Jodie. It is hard to believe that someone so young could already be so violent and aggressive, but Jodie is, and it’s left her with no other foster families to turn to. Cathy Glass is her last hope.

Even now, 50 foster children and 23 years later, Cathy admits that she still wells up when she sees the suitcases of a child who has been staying with her waiting in her hall. Leomie Anderson flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a skimpy metallic co-ord as she joins chic Vogue Williams at swanky H&M bashCathy Glass je pseudonym, pod kterým vystupuje profesionální pěstounka, u které se za dvacet let "rodičování" vystřídalo asi padesát různých dětí. Rozbitá je přitom příběh vyprávěný z jejího pohledu v momentě, kdy se má do její rodiny nastěhovat osmiletá holčička Jodie. Jodie je problémové dítě, za poslední čtyři měsíce vystřídala pět rodin. Je nezvladatelná, agresivní, hrubá, vulgární, bez emocí, bez nadšení. Nikdo však netuší, proč tomu tak je. Nebýt Cathy, nikdo by se zřejmě nikdy nedozvěděl, že byla Jodie od útlého dětství pohlavně zneužíváná. Nikdo netušil, v jakém měřítku. Úřady v jejím případě totálně po celou dobu selhávaly a sociální pracovníci si Jodie přehazovali jako horký brambor. Tahle kniha vás donutí přemýšlet nad tím, jaká zvěrstva se možná dějí dětem hned vedle za zdí u sousedů. Zastrašit děti, aby mlčely, je snadné. My dospělí máme své techniky a víme, čeho se děti bojí. Hnus je, když se zastrašování stane pro dítě noční můrou a to je pak - dost pravděpodobně - do konce života odsouzeno pouze trpět a nikdy se nedat jako člověk do pořádku.
