I don't know where to start, I guess when i met my daughters father, I was jus newly out of a long relationship, I had a break down, a friend suggested that I come out to play pool with him at his local, I went, I enjoyed myself, I carried on going which was how I met my daughters father. He was a charmer, very shy, but there was a very nasty dark side to him... I fell fowl to the violence and the fell pregnant, I stayed for about a yr but realised he was never going to change and stopped all contact, court papers then arrived, a couple of yrs went by and my lil one started school in sept so as government states once ur child starts full time ed the parent has to return to work.... Great I thought..... Started to look for workin my field ' landscape gardening' nothing in my area so looked all over London i got a perfect job, for 2 weeks I commuted with various childminders and friends helping then a friend came to me and offered that she would look after my daughter Monday to Friday and I could stay with her sister in law in London, for £150 a week, that way I would be saving every way, to get a flat up there for both me and my baby girl, but behide my back my friend was allowing my daughter father access to see his daughter, then on the 17.09.2012 they took her from my care and told the police I hurt my daughter and abandoned her, that I didn't feed her and her clothes didn't fit, while daughter was under their care they told her that I hated her and she would never see me again, my friend a mother of 5 told my daughter that she was goin to slit my throat, as u can imagine she was very frightened and started to believe wat she was being told! But they lied and I had facts and proof, she is now back living with me, but I feel numb and I can't talk about to anyone! It hurts to think about wat she went through!
