on 28th May 1996 Sabine Dardenne was kidnapped my Marc Dutroux. She was twelve and found 80 days later living in a room 3 feet by 6 feet and not big enough to stand up in. In her book she says I need to write this book for three reasons: so that people stop giving me strange looks and treating me like curiosity, so that no one asks me any more questions ever again, and so that the judicial system never again frees a paedophile for ''good behaviour''
Sabine writes an account of her life from the day she was abducted in Belgium until the trial some eight years later. She never speaks of the horrenduos sexual abuse she was subjected to, only to say it was so terrible she was forced to wear nappies to stem the bleeding. A remarkable woman with an amazing strength of character, she was fed lie after lie and she later found out other girls had been murdered in the room she was forced to live in at the hands of this paedophile who had already been in prison and released early for good behaviour
Its obviously upsetting to read but she really is a remarkable woman to have foud the strength just to survive. She wrote letters to her family which are published. They were the main evidence used in the trial as they describe in detail her sexual abuse (though this is thankfully removed in the book)
Its only about a year old so only available in hardback but I was able to get it from the library.
He told her countless lies about her parents poor love.
