Innocent
Cathy Glass
The children’s parents are distraught when little Kit, 18 months old, and his sister, Molly, 3 years, are brought into care as a result of suspected non-accidental injuries. One or both of the parents is thought to have harmed the children. Kit has a broken arm and bruises to his face and his sister is withdrawn and scared.
The parents maintain they have never hurt their children. Molly and Kit appear to have been well looked after and miss their parents dreadfully. Is it possible the social services have got it wrong and Kit’s injuries were accidental?
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.

However, nothing could be further from the truth and what comes to light is far more sinister and shocking.
