Stace Don

He'd make me go and get the biggest sack of potatoes and because he could see out of the window because it, like...

you could see like the full high street from the window he used to watch and laugh at me struggling but I knew if I didn't get them potatoes back that'd be it do you know so that even the guy passed on me and he went are you all right with that and I was like and I had carried him and I got him across the road but I dropped it off my shoulder so I'm trying to drag him and then he come out and just went it's not that hard is it and picked him up so that was obviously showing like he he could overpower me and it was just different things like that at first um

I put a wash in and I put darks in and he held a white t-shirt up at the kitchen door.

And he went, I want this one.

I said, I'll put it in next.

And where the washer was, like the kitchen, so the kitchen door was here and then you had like a breakfast bar here and then behind it was washer.

So I was stood here and he was at the kitchen door and there weren't actually doors.

So it was just like a door for him.

And he come round and he booted me to the floor.

And every time I tried to get up, he'd just boot me back down.

And then he'd be like, do you want to get up?

So I'm begging, literally begging to get up.

And every time he'd just let you get that little bit further up and just take me out.

And I started from this side of the kitchen and ended up on this side of the kitchen.

And he was literally laughing in my face, begging him to get up.

I tried to go to the police and the social services on my mum's ex-partner and...

Because he gave me bruises and when I went to the school and the school informed the social services, they didn't come out for two weeks so my bruises had been gone.

So everyone called me a liar for it and I weren't lying.

When you put down that much and you've gone to social services and you've been begging them to help you and put you in a children's home because you just don't want to go home anymore and no one wants to listen to you.

You lose your trust in the services.
