Innocent

The True Story of Siblings Struggling to Survive

De: Cathy Glass

Narrado por: Denica Fairman

Innocent is the shocking true story of little Molly and Kit, siblings, aged 3 years and 18 months, who are brought into care as an emergency after suffering non-accidental injuries.

Aneta and Filip, the children’s parents, are distraught when their children are taken into care. Aneta maintains she is innocent of harming them, while Filip appears bewildered and out of his depth. It’s true the family has never come to the attention of the social services before and little Kit and Molly appear to have been well looked after, but Kit has a broken arm and bruises on his face. Could it be they were a result of a genuine accident as Aneta is claiming?

Both children become sick with a mysterious illness while, experienced foster carer, Cathy, is looking after them. Very worried, she asks for more hospital tests to be done. They’ve already had a lot. When Cathy’s daughter, Lucy, becomes ill too she believes she has found the cause of Kit and Molly’s illness and the parents aren’t to blame. However, nothing could be further from the truth and what comes to light is far more sinister and shocking.

It is what it is

As this is non-fiction, I gave a 4. Performance and narration were excellent. It’s predictable, or was to me. I respect Cathy so much, but I made the mistake of listening to (DAMAGED) first. Still a good listen. Just save DAMAGED for last. You are a truly amazing person, Cathy Glass!

What a heartbreaking story!

My heart goes out to Cathy Glass and her family for everything they do! I for a short period started to feel badly for the father till I reached the end! He in my eyes was just as heartless and immature as his wife! When you hear these stories they just break your heart! You know that saying Like when you are on a telephone call that you just wanted to reach through the phone and strangle someone well I wish I could have reached into the book and Knocked the daylights out of that father and mother for being so inconsiderate to the woman that Chuck care of their Children in a time of need! You can add the Judge to that too for the ignorant decision he made and can only pray that the kids grow up healthy happy and SAFELY! GOD BLESS YOU CATHY GLASS

Outstanding

Ms Glass’s books never disappoint me. From the very first word to the very last line she draws you in so you feel that you are apart of her family. She does the kind of work that too many people could not. You can feel the love in her writings from the moment she first hears about the child until her very last second with them. Of all her books this set of parents were the cruelest. She loved their kids took care of them discovered what was happening which caused the mother to get the help she needed. Well done Cathy

FDIA

I had never heard the term F DIA, or Facticious Disorder Imposed on Another, however when the story began I quickly suspected that the parents of the children involved, or one of the parents of the children involved, was causing these children to be sick. The term that I knew was Munchausen's by Proxy. As it turned out, these children's mom, Anita, because of her own abuse as a child had developed a mental illness that caused her to crave attention so much so that she chose to make her children sick. In this way, she could take them to the hospital and seen to be the wonderful mother that she wanted praise for being. I was truly surprised that it took so long for the caregiver and authorities to figure thus out. My prayer is that these parents have grown enough through this experience to become the loving, nurturing parents that all children deserve.

Absolutely excellent! I loved every minute!

Incredible book. Would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you Cathy for another wonderful story.

my review

In the beginning I struggled listening to the narrator, but as I listened further I got used to listening to her. Overall it was a good story. Sometimes there was too much detail. Weird birthmother. I felt bad for Cathy, the carer, in the end.

Best Book I Have Ever Read.

I loved this book. The author kept me wanting to hear more. This is the first book that I have listened to from beginning to end in one sitting.
