Life was hard being a kid:
My childhood wasnt very good. Before i was born there was my sister and my mum didnt want her at all and was going to put her in care, bt my Grandma and grandad took her in and looked after her from when she was 4 month old. A few years later my mum met my dad and I was concived. When i was born i was dosed up with calpol to help get me to sleep so that they didnt the could play one agianst the the other with smoking. Nearly 2 years later my sister was born and my mum did the same to her. soon we wasnt fed properly cause if we had a sandwhich she would cut it into quarters and we would only eat one on them. 4 years after that my mum had my brother. N soon the marriage was breaking up they started to argue between themselve about everything but us kids. Well soon the divoused and we moved with our mum and soon she started hitting me, my sister and brother with canes.But one night was the worst my mum went dancing every monday night and normal my dad looked after his kid to spend time with us. But this one night my mum boyfriend looked after her kid. Mu brother recently started school and started to wet the bed. My mum boyfriend went up stairs and ran my brother a bath and started to shout that woke me and my little sister up. I went kept getting up to see what happening but i got shouted at to get back to bed. when the bath was ran he put my brother in and cause the water was too hot he started to cry and my step dad started to forse my brother agianst the bath tub. it soon calmed down and we all went to sleep before my mum got back. The next morning we woke up and it got dresses and went down stairs and my siter notice my brother ears and they where black but mum blamed us kid and got the cane onto us that morning. we went to school. during that time my mum took my brother to the see a doctor and child services was called. Me and my little was taken out of school at lunch time in the car there was a social worker that we now know that they have not left out life since. We went for something to eat and went to have a medicalcheck up and us three kid was underweight and we had bruises every where on our bodys. we went to the police station and had to give a statment on what happened. my mum boyfriend admitted what happend so us kid did nt have to go to court. That night we moved in to our dads he had no food for us so he borrowed some money and did some shopping. Then he started sexual abusing my little sister. In January 2006 my sister told a teacher at school and we had to make another statement about what happened to her. At this point i felt really guilty cause nothing like that happened to me.Then that night we were taken into foster care six month later we was put in to the care of our Grandma.shortly sfter moving in with grandma he was put in prison for 4 years.And on the sex offendered list for life. Last year he was realsed and we dont know where he is at the moment. i am so glad that i am out of that situation now and from that day weve been very happy and i am happy i am a lucky one that still alive to tell my story.
