Sadly Grandma died a short while ago

Oh gosh I didn't see that. Even worse for the husband then, I cannot imagine the trauma he's suffered.

Id like to say I can understand the pain the Grandfather is going through but I think it would be much worse than I could imagine. God rest Ellie

[dunnitall]

Yes Bertrum I know what you mean. Terrible story all round knowing the lives it's affected and can only admire Mr Gray for telling it like it is .

From what I have read about this case, the little girl should never have been allowed back with this family in the first place. The whole affair was predictable.

He's a victim too in this horrendous case, it seems that everyone, school, social services, grandparents could see what was happening except the Judge. She even went to the extreme of ordering the couple's record to be cleared with all authorities, thus giving them a smoking gun with which to threaten anyone who questioned their parenting.

The "Judge" said it wasn't Personal,That's OK then,how arrogant can you be?

This is a bloody awful story.
