After years of physical and mental abuse, Jade thought her kindly foster mother would be the answer to her prayers. She was wrong … this is her staggering true story.

‘This must be what prison is like,’ I thought as another hour crawled by. In fact, prison would be better … at least you knew your sentence. You could tick off the days until you got out. In the Bad Room we had no idea how long we’d serve.

After years of constant abuse, Jade thought her foster mother Linda Black would be the answer to her prayers. Loving and nurturing, she offered ten-year-old Jade a life free of fear.

But once the regular social-worker checks stopped, Linda turned and over the next six years Jade and three other girls were kept prisoner in a bedroom they called the ‘bad room’.

Shut away for 16 hours at a time, they were starved, violently beaten, forbidden from speaking or using the toilet and routinely humiliated. Jade was left feeling broken and suicidal.

This is the powerful true story of how one woman banished the ghosts of her past by taking dramatic action to protect the life of every vulnerable child in care.

Jade Kelly was born in XXXX and grew up in and out of care. Having endured barbaric cruelty throughout her childhood, she is dedicated to raising awareness of the failures in the foster care system and supporting fellow survivors of mental, physical and emotional abuse. Since taking the authorities to task over her treatment in care, she has forged a career as a Business Development Manager, delivering training and apprenticeships to the Prison Service, NHS and Education sectors. A qualified fitness and dance instructor, Jade divides her time between Leeds and Spain.
