À propos de cet audio
Innocent is the shocking true story of little Molly and Kit, siblings, aged 3 years and 18 months, who are brought into care as an emergency after suffering non-accidental injuries.
Aneta and Filip, the children’s parents, are distraught when their children are taken into care. Aneta maintains she is innocent of harming them, while Filip appears bewildered and out of his depth. It’s true the family has never come to the attention of the social services before and little Kit and Molly appear to have been well looked after, but Kit has a broken arm and bruises on his face. Could it be they were a result of a genuine accident as Aneta is claiming?
Both children become sick with a mysterious illness while, experienced foster carer, Cathy, is looking after them. Very worried, she asks for more hospital tests to be done. They’ve already had a lot. When Cathy’s daughter, Lucy, becomes ill too she believes she has found the cause of Kit and Molly’s illness and the parents aren’t to blame. However, nothing could be further from the truth and what comes to light is far more sinister and shocking.

The story is dragged out far too long for what it is, thanks to this endless regurgitation. Meanwhile, the narrator, normally very talented, made me want to tear my headphones off at numerous points with her squalling of the line “I want my mummy!” Over and over again in the least likeable way possible.
This book was hell at times to endure, but I did endure because at the core of the story (which takes way way way too long to be figured out by Cathy and for the narrative to reveal) is (spoilers from here on, though you should be able to figure this out it from page 1) that these young children are experiencing Munchausen by Proxy, one of the most disturbing things to ever happen to any children.
Unfortunately, that reveal, already obvious from the start, is basically the crux of the whole story. The judge in the case rules that the children are to be returned to their parents at the end. They treat Cathy coldly and that is all we know.
From what little I know of the mental illness that is MBP, there’s never been a successful treatment of the symptoms, and the children remain in danger their whole lives. Obviously Cathy doesn’t know anymore than what she can tell, and she allows some misgivings to come through in the story, but she also constantly harps on about the judge knowing best and the mother being so loving that perhaps it’ll all work out, despite her admitting before that Aneta’s love bordered on psychotic, was overly controlling, and that she remained so on the last few meetings she had with Cathy, even poisoning her husband against her despite him previously being kind and polite.
On the other hand, these sorts of fostering stories shouldn’t be expected to have happy endings, or even complete ones, given that they are told from the carer’s perspective and not the children’s. I sincerely hope that these two souls survive their mother’s abuse and manage to liberate themselves and tell that story someday. Still, Glass’s ending feels rushed and unfulfilling, especially after an overly drawn out book.
A frustrating experience, both in writing and obnoxious narration. I never want to hear “I want my mummy” spoken ever again.
