So I lived with my mum and my dad up until I was 18 months old.

And then I had bruises on my body and a bite mark under my left eye.

and then I had a broken leg and then the hospital let me out and he picked me up on my birthday and my mum told him not to let me walk on my leg and he did and it re-snapped and because I was crying he took me back to the hospital and they found more bruises on my body so they kept me in hospital.

I don't know.

It was classed as non-accidental by the reports, but there wasn't enough evidence to actually say, yeah, they did it or they did it, so no one actually got charged for it.

Yeah.

I don't know who it was.

It's never come out.

It just states non-accidental.

That was basically it.

No, my mum was very timid and my mum has a story of her own which made her really vulnerable to the abuse which later on through my story you'll realise she didn't have the strength to be able to stand up and make better decisions than what she did.

My mum's told me things and stuff like that, but because there was no conviction around it, I'm not allowed to delve into it.

Yeah.

brilliant just what you'd want every kid to have do you know routine structure stability I was happy I had friends like I was engaging in everything within school the sports like I was in school before everyone in school after everyone because my foster parent she worked at the school so I was just always there I was in with all the teachers like it's like everyone just took me under the wing you know yeah and I was really happy

Really good, yeah.

I like to get praise off everyone.

So I just, like, even after school finished, I'd go round to the different classrooms and, like, help the teachers and different things like that.

And then at home, like, I had my own playroom and I'd get something out, but then I'd put it back away, do you know?

Like, I just had respect for all my things.

And, yeah, it's just, like, they're good.
