The Little Prisoner : How a Childhood Was Stolen and a Trust Betrayed Paperback / softback
by Jane Elliott
Paperback / softback
Description
An inspirational true story of a 4 year old girl who fell into the power of a man whose evil knew no bounds.
She encountered terrifying mental and physical torture from her psychopathic stepfather for a period of 17 years until she managed to break free, her spirit still unbroken Jane Elliott fell into the hands of her sadistic and brutal stepfather when she was 4 years old.
Her story is both inspiring and horrifying. Kept a virtual prisoner in a fortress-like house and treated to daily and ritual abuse, Jane nonetheless managed to lose herself in a fantasy world which would keep her spirit alive. Equally as horrifying as the physical abuse Jane suffered, were the mental games her tormentor played – getting his kicks from seeing Jane humiliated, confused, crushed and defeated at every turn. Her family and neighbourhood were all terrified of Jane’s stepfather so no-one held out a rescuing hand.
So Jane had to help herself. When she was 21 she ran away with her baby daughter and boyfriend to start a new life in hiding.
Several years on she found the courage to go to the police.
A court case followed where Jane bravely stood up against the unrepentant aggressor she so feared.
He was jailed for 17 years. Jane’s family took his side.
