ABUSED TO DEATH 1: Eight children ... murdered by those who should have protected them

Book Synopsis: Baby P was just 17 months old when his mother’s boyfriend and his brother abused and murdered him, while his mother sat by, surfing the internet.

Sylvia Likens was a shy teenager who loved The Beatles, whose foster mother encouraged the neighbourhood children to humiliate and torture her.

Read these and six other heart-breaking child abuse true crime stories told in the voices of children murdered by their caregivers.

How can we raise awareness of this horrific crime and prevent 27 children in the US and 2 children in the UK, every week, from suffering and dying?

Other children in this volume include:

• Michael, whose mother convinced doctors to treat him for epilepsy in a case of Munchausen’s by Proxy
• Jeanette, who was ‘homeschooled’ to hide the torture from those who cared
• 3-year-old JaQuinn, who was burned with a blowtorch to punish him for bed-wetting
• Amy, who was 4 years old when she was hung up by her hair and used as a punch-bag

You will also read about the injuries each child suffered, the trials and sentencing of their murderers, the possible reasons why parents commit these horrific crimes, warning signs to look out for, and steps towards prevention.
