Overview

Thrust into care at six months of age because of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother, Teresa Cooper's life began in a less than perfect way. Little did she know that things would only go from bad to worse. Teresa spent her unsettled childhood in a variety of children's homes before eventually being sent at the age of 13 to Kendal House in Gravesend, Kent, which was to become the prison in which her worst nightmares would come true. Cruel and vicious treatments, accompanied by punishments such as 163 days spent in solitary confinement, meant that it was not long before Teresa began to harm herself and even attempted to take her life. After three years of hell, Teresa was put into foster care at the age of 16. But her new foster father would turn out to be another abuser. Teresa Cooper has now fought back against all the odds.
