About this listen
Cassie was only 13 when her mother died of a degenerative illness, leaving her vulnerable to sexual predators in the Halifax area who had been grooming her since the age of 11. She fell through the net of the care system and reached out for friendship, only to be consumed by an escalating spiral of abuse.
This harrowing and truly shocking story captures in vivid detail how gangs of men were able to ply a child with drink and drugs, then rape her and pass her around their associates with no one seemingly able to step in and prevent it. Cassie was lost in a world of appalling degradation for years before a local policeman and caring social worker became instrumental in helping her to escape and rebuild her life.
In 2016, the largest case of child sexual exploitation ever brought to trial at that time in the UK resulted in the conviction of 17 men. Since Cassie's abusers were jailed, child safeguarding policies have improved so that vulnerable children like Cassie should never again fall through the net and become prey.

Sad but inspiring
Some of this was hard to listen to but told in a beautiful way and so inspiring. What a strong person Cassie is to come through this ordeal when she was failed by the people that should of protected her.

Shocking read.
From a childhood of neglect, abuse, utter depravity and degeneracy to some measure of normalcy in adulthood this is an incredible true story.

shocking! real! couldn't stop listening
I find these horrific stories of abuse and survival so interesting, shocking and so raw, it's scary to think this sort of thing could be happening all around you and not even know the suffering going on.

This was the most riveting book I've listened to, but what a heartbreaking story. Cassie is so strong to overcome her past and face her future.
