A horrific true story of extreme bullying and the sexual abuse of a disabled child.
Life was never easy for little Siobhan. Born with cerebral palsy, she already has extra difficulties to contend with. But her disability isn’t her only problem. For Siobhan, life is a nightmare of constant verbal and physical attacks. The verbal and physical abuse soon turns more serious, even violent. And Siobhan plunges deeper into a relentless hell of daily attacks.
As the abuse escalates, Siobhan begins to fear for her life.
The urge for survival takes over and Siobhan must take drastic and extreme action to escape the torment. But her safety is short lived and the abuse returns once again to her life. And this time, it is worse than ever.
The story builds to a powerful crescendo, and one final, shocking act of sexual violence changes the lives of all concerned for ever.
Kate Skylark has previously co-authored two child abuse memoirs. But now, it’s time for Kate to tell her own story. Ugly Child, is the touching and shocking account of the author’s own childhood bullying and sexual abuse hell.
Kate Skylark’s real name is Siobhan. This is her horrendous story…
The author believes no child should ever have to undergo such torment. So for every book sold, a donation will be made to the NSPCC.
