Cupboard Boy: A Shockingly True Story of Horrific Child Abuse

The PT Saunders Story, Book 1

By: P.T. Saunders

Narrated by: Paul Winter

Length: 1 hr and 53 mins

Publisher's Summary

Under the cover of anonymity, Paul Saunders courageously tells his shockingly true story of how he and his stepsiblings were repeatedly abused by their mother and stepfather. It doesn’t make “easy” listening, but living through it wasn’t fun, either. 

Paul’s father selfishly deserted him and his mother for another woman when Paul was just coming up to two years of age. Paul’s mother quickly entered into a new mixed race relationship, which in 1960’s Britain was very much frowned upon.

Consequently, Paul and his mother were instantly ostracized by their family and friends, and they were left to suffer/ witness dreadful physical abuse and neglect at the hands of Roy, an evil and very sick man.

The following is a harrowing story and may be - should be - as distressing to listen, as it is for me to write. However, the events that took place during the years 1963 to 1980 need to be recorded, for the sake of future generations of children to come and out of respect to all the children who have already suffered at the hands of demonic parents.

I especially dedicate this book to one hell of a brave boy, my stepbrother little Paul, who sadly died with a great deal of dignity at the young age of 19 from cancer, after years of horrific abuse. God bless him.

Torture By Human Hands

I thought the narrator underwent a substantial amount of mental and physical abuse. As watching what the step brother underwent was extreme torture. It is material that can be used as educational and enciteful. I really feel for the barrator and wahat he had to go thru. Horrible! Very good writing.

Heart wrenching story of abuse, racism and fear.

Sad story but it shows how fear will prevent children from reporting abuse. sharing an inside look at how racism and poverty affect children.

WOW!

This book is well written & narrated but it is so sad that the SYSTEM let these kids down.

I hope after this book was published that the children of this family & others get justice.

trigger-child abuse, domestic violence, racism

This is such a sad story! it is so sad that children had to deal with this abuse more than 25 years ago...and unfortunately some still deal with it today. The more stories being told, hopefully the more children being saved.

shocking

I just cant understand how a parent can be so evil...I hope I never find an understanding that its ok or an excuse..it will never be...an animal is more protected than a child...that is sad!!!

great read

I couldn't put it down. This book is sad but is so true and it may get thru to the people that are doing this to kids of how horrible they are.
