Dehumanisation: A True Story of Organised Child Abuse
Unwanted and homeless from day 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.”

The most difficult book I have ever read. This broke my heart.

This book is much needed. It’s sheds a light on things a lot of people don’t want to hear about or don’t think could possibly happen in this day and age.
The impact of trauma in the moment but also the ongoing impact. Children don’t always say what’s going on at home or in groups because they are too scared
Jennie is one courageous woman not from choice but as a necessity for her and her children’s survival.
This book does not shy away from the issue

Heart breaking
It is devastating to be made aware of the cruelty some children have to suffer. This book made me cry several times, no just the abuse but the lack of support from everyone's in authority who should have be there for all children
A real page turner, have your tissues ready
