About this listen
Barbara was 12 when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital Aston Hall in 1971. From a troubled home, she'd hoped she would find sanctuary there. But during her stay, Barbara was systematically drugged and abused by its head physician, Dr Kenneth Milner.
Somehow, eventually, she started to campaign for answers. This is a shocking account of how vulnerable children were preyed upon by the doctor entrusted with their care.

Amazing story of a true survivor, very sad to hear of her life in past. Learnt to listen to words of people who speak of abuse. Loved it and life changing.

Horrific
This was a story of horrific abuse. It was emotional to listen to, can not imagine to what all these your people when though . To the power the so called professional had and allow this to happen. It made feel sad for the children .

Heartbreaking
Many times I had to stop listening as the story was so horrific. My heart bled for Barbara for not only in the hospital but for the crimes against her by her father, her new mums, the adults in her life -the cruel verbal taunting she suffered and the mental games adults did to her, not only the ones who inflicted this but the ones who stood and turned a blind eye. Thankgod for Janet, Christine, John, Hannah and finally her father (after being forced to). Barbara, your spirit, your words, moved me. Thank you for writing your story and sharing.

Absolutely shocking
The content of this book is really difficult to listen as it is completely abhorrent what a child has endured though it is something you don’t want to press stop on either. Mature audiences only.

wow... what strength
I cried for you, I got angry at the abuse and also at all the so called adults that came into your life and did nothing. My heart brakes for you.
Hope the legal battle works out and more answers come forth. Hope Christine is doing OK if you find out news of her.
take care ..
