Dehumanisation

Unwanted and homeless from day one: Social services found Jennie a new home. Tragically she was enslaved into a brutal regime of horrific abuse, extreme neglect, loss and degrading humiliation with foster parents.

It continued behind closed doors in a seemingly well-respected household for twenty-three years. The foster family trafficked her to other sickening perpetrators of organised abuse rings. The death of both foster parents did not stop the hideous abuse, which continued for decades as they hunted down Jennie and her son despite moving thirty-six times.

Jennie developed DID Dissociative Identity Disorder to survive after suffering such severe trauma.

All Jennie knew was shocking betrayal - including what she discovered from her social service records years later.

How she and her son survived is unfathomable, but Jennie's remarkable resilience shines through as she refuses to give up.

"The Stabards were excused from the previous allegation of abusing children in their care."

"Noted that Faith and Jennie are possibly being sexually abused by the Stabards. If we were to investigate this, our problem would be, who would care for these misfits in society."

"It is in the best interest to stay where they are as it is regarded they will not have any long-term problems as to the result of the abuse."

"These Children are lucky to be placed in a home setting with experienced foster carers."
