Thank you The Gazette for highlighting resilience and courage in the face of child abuse.

Wendy Oliver’s response to her children one day in 2011, when all three spoke of the sexual abuse that had been going on for a while behind her back, using what her daughter calls “calculated tactics,” was this: “I really want to hear what you have to say, but I really need someone to help me.”

Oliver said she instinctively knew that having psychological backup and witnesses were important for what she was about to learn – the details of which wouldn’t be revealed until nearly two years later at the first trial of her ex-husband.

In between, the family was directed to Safe Passage. https://buff.ly/Kj3LpXH
