Nobody loves me : Bobby's true story of neglect, secrets and abuse
Hartley, Maggie2023
Book
Three siblings arrive at Maggie's door after being taken into care. Teachers of eight-year-old Bobby spotted bruises while he was getting changed for PE and his dad, Lee, and stepmother, Brianna, have been uncooperative and hostile to Social Services. While they investigate, Bobby, as well as Brianna's daughters, Melodie and Poppy, are all placed in Maggie's care. But as the children settle in, a thought won't let Maggie go. While Melodie and Poppy are clean, well-fed and immaculately dressed, Bobby is pale, severely underweight and crawling with lice. What looks like a case of neglect is actually something much more sinister and Maggie discovers that Bobby and his half-sisters are hiding a cruel secret.
