Girl raped by dad over 1,000 times; has his baby

A 25-year-old woman in Bradford, UK, was given £160,000 [Dh954,033] as compensation because social service staff admitted to not taking her away from her family home after she repeatedly informed them that her father had been abusing her.

Today, she is on anti-depressants, battling her emotions as she admits she “loves’ her son, but she finds “it so hard to bond with him properly” because she sees her dad in him, reports Mirror.

He raped her more than 1,000 times between the ages of 10 and 17 and got her pregnant twice, the reports adds.

She escaped from her family, when she was 17 and found a boyfriend. Soon she delivered a baby boy, she believed was his.

However, four years later, when her sister alleged that their father raped her and sought a DNA test, she was shattered to hear the truth.

She was first raped by her dad in 1999, aged 10, when her mother went out to work at a care home.

It was only after three years that she gathered courage to tell her  mother, but she did not believe her and that added to her woes.

So in August 2003, she informed a police officer she saw on the street. She was placed under protection and taken to her older  sister’s place and her father charged with rape. Soon afterwards she was moved to a children’s home because her sister couldn’t take care of her.

However, her father was found not guilty and that broke the youngster.

Meanwhile, she was pulled out of the children’s home and placed with her next-door neighbour. But she longed to go home to win her mother’s love. So her mother convinced social workers that her husband was not at home on week days. Thus, she returned home and the abuse started again.

That very month, she fell pregnant, at age 15, which she aborted. Meanwhile, she was taken off the child protection register, as well, because they presumed she was getting on well.

A month later, she informed the social workers that she was being abused again, but they could not help her citing that her father was found ‘not guilty’.

After another year of abuse, she fell pregnant again in 2005. She was 17 and had just moved out of her family home into a hostel where she met a boyfriend and she believed it was his child. Her life seemed normal.

But four years ago, cops informed her that her sister informed them of abuse and sought a DNA test.

Both the sisters gave evidence against their 53-year-old father in 2012, who is now behind bars. He has been sentenced to 19 years in jail.
