Behind Closed Doors: A True Story of Abuse, Neglect and Survival Against the Odds
by
by
Abuse by a father of his young children.
The man comes across as a psychopath and paedophile. The mother, unable to cope and apparently wiling to pander to her husband. Perhaps she really loved him - who knows, not that that would excuse her part in the tragedy of her children's early life.
The authorities, such as they were at the time and place when all this happened, seem either powerless or uninterested in intervening in domestic affairs.
As rubbish as things seem to be these days for kids who are taken into local authority care, one has to think it is preferable to the abuse kids like Jenny lived through back in the 60s and 70s.
A story to be learned from, rather than enjoyed.
