When She Was Good

Michael Robotham (2020)

2020

When She Was Good in the 2nd in Michael Robotham Cyrus Haven series. In this story, Cyrus finds out who abducted and assaulted Evie prior to her going into state care. Some of the 'baddies' in the story have a Care Experience background. There’s a Care Experienced character who’s convicted of kidnapping kids, another one whose chauffeuring job includes taking a child from paedophile to paedophile (but who comes good in the end), and the ring-leader paedophile was orphaned in high school.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
