Damaged: The Heartbreaking True Story of a Forgotten Child

It made me very sad, and I cried a few times during it but it was a very interesting insight into the world of social care and the failings of the social services; Jodie had been on the 'at risk' register for her whole life and yet she still suffered in this horrendous way, despite social workers supposedly checking up on her every few months.Our society's rapt attention for reading about or watching news stories related to pedophiles and child abuse seems almost perverted itself. The books "Nobody's Son", "Cruel to Be Kind" and "A Long Way From Home" are all set before Glass adopted her daughter; although were released after her book "Will you Love Me? He was illegally brought to the UK by his mother, a prostitute that heavily relies on drugs and alcohol.

DAMAGED | Cathy Glass

Kerry never knew her father, and her mother suffered from depression, so she was placed in foster care. Cathy Glass has written other books about foster children she's cared for but I can't read them now---maybe at some other time, I don't know. She is an extremely disturbed child, and we don't fully begin to understand the reasons for this disturbance until some way into the book, when she begins to disclose the horrors of her past to Cathy. In this story you will learn that Jodie has been keeping some things(secrets) from her assigned social worker,that should've been told in the beginning.As this story progresses you will see that her social worker has a special bond with her and that she has helped Jodie improve so much. I noticed Cathy Class (pseudonym) has written several other books about other foster children she has cared for. Občas to na mne, jako na matku, bylo dost silné kafe a několikrát jsem se snažila sama sebe přesvědčit, že to je všechno smyšlené a že se tohle nikdy neodehrálo.
