Every time I think I’ve found the worst that can take place in this county, something new comes up

Rose West grew up in a situation like this, horrific to think there are families like this out there

Assaults started when she was 6, grandfather needed interpreter, and assaults took place at religious events.

What are the odds?

Poor girl and her sister. I hope they get the help they need for coping with the horror they went through.
