A vulnerable girl. A gang of vicious men. A shocking true story of survival.

By: Gaia Cooper, Veronica Clark

Narrated by: Imogen Wilde

Gaia was groomed, abused and enslaved – but then she fought back

Gaia Cooper is just 14 years old when she is groomed by a criminal gang and forced to commit organised credit card fraud.

Despite being placed in care – somewhere Gaia should feel safe – she is left even more vulnerable, and is horrifically abused and exploited by the men manipulating her.

Will the authorities save Gaia – or will she have to save herself?

Important Story that needs to be heard by everybod

It's such an important story to hear, Britain having collectively buried these stories for the last decade. It is infuriating to try and comprehend how all the adults in her life betrayed their duty to care for a child and this happened to 1000s of children in the Uk. From her terrible mother and foster Mother to police and Social workers and even strangers who see a child in distress on the street and look away.
It is hard to listen to. because of all the cliches and overuse of adverbs and adjectives in every sentence, every phrase. But we all need to hear Gaias story and every other girl's story, if we hope to learn from this scandal.
