Cathy Glass je pseudonym, pod kterým vystupuje profesionální pěstounka, u které se za dvacet let "rodičování" vystřídalo asi padesát různých dětí. Rozbitá je přitom příběh vyprávěný z jejího pohledu v momentě, kdy se má do její rodiny nastěhovat osmiletá holčička Jodie. Jodie je problémové dítě, za poslední čtyři měsíce vystřídala pět rodin. Je nezvladatelná, agresivní, hrubá, vulgární, bez emocí, bez nadšení. Nikdo však netuší, proč tomu tak je. Nebýt Cathy, nikdo by se zřejmě nikdy nedozvěděl, že byla Jodie od útlého dětství pohlavně zneužíváná. Nikdo netušil, v jakém měřítku. Úřady v jejím případě totálně po celou dobu selhávaly a sociální pracovníci si Jodie přehazovali jako horký brambor. Tahle kniha vás donutí přemýšlet nad tím, jaká zvěrstva se možná dějí dětem hned vedle za zdí u sousedů. Zastrašit děti, aby mlčely, je snadné. My dospělí máme své techniky a víme, čeho se děti bojí. Hnus je, když se zastrašování stane pro dítě noční můrou a to je pak - dost pravděpodobně - do konce života odsouzeno pouze trpět a nikdy se nedat jako člověk do pořádku.Petra Ecclestone shows off her new red hair as she enjoys family outing to LA Lakers game with husband Sam Palmer and their four children It’s an unusual situation, because when Cathy is handed the forms by Social Services that should contain all of his information, everything is blank except for his name and age.

DAMAGED | Cathy Glass

This first best-selling book by Cathy Glass is one that will leave you with conflicting emotions. I found myself angry and sad at the same time. Damaged is a book about an 8-year-old girl named Jodie. It is hard to believe that someone so young could already be so violent and aggressive, but Jodie is, and it’s left her with no other foster families to turn to. Cathy Glass is her last hope.

Roman Kemp breaks down in tears as he admits he worries that people think he uses the suicide of his friend Joe Lyons to 'make himself more famous' Chrishell Stause sports a prosthetic male torso as she and her partner G Flip recreate Troye Sivan's new drag music video for Halloween The extent of the damage done to Jodie is explained all throughout the book as she lives with Cathy. Cathy is an incredible human being to take on such damaged children and the way she wrote about each incident and moment made me feel as though I were part of the case as well. Although, at times, I felt like pulling out the way many of her carers and social workers have in the past. All the secret signs Victoria Coren Mitchell, 51, was pregnant: From talking about taking a 'little sabbatical' to carefully planned TV appearances Glass did a phenomenal job with this heart-breaking story. Even though she was one of the main characters, she never took the spotlight away from Dawn. I think that’s a point of departure in all of the best novels by Cathy Glass: the focus is always the child.Matthew Perry's The West Wing co-star Bradley Whitford pens powerful tribute as he hailed 'huge, open heart' and 'heroic battle' with addiction Are we now living in the age of Full Disclosure when everything is revealed about what people do to each other, the real truth about what human beings are? When it comes to dresses being paraded with presidential semen stains still upon them, or the latest youtube viral video horrors, you may think so. But - although it seems we have reached a plateau I think there is a way to go. The misery memoir, of which A Boy Called It is the ur-text, is a step along the way. Misery memoirs - my Waterstone's has a whole wall of them. Damaged was one of the first. Euphoria star Jacob Elordi credits Eminem for helping him nail his American accent: 'I love that man so much' Friends scenes go viral for going from funny to 'heartbreaking' in the wake of Matthew Perry's tragic death aged 54
