Chapter 10: Your Foster Dad Will Stick His Hands Down Your Pants, And You Will Feel So, So Lucky
Listen now
Description
It was hard for Rosie and her big sister to keep up appearances when mum Lisa hadn't been home in four days. After a while, others started to cotton on - including the Department of Community Services. For a while Rosie and sister stayed with relatives here and there; and then they hit the foster home jackpot: a very-well-to-do family with a big swish house AND a place in the country. Everybody kept saying how lucky they were. Until some pretty suspect things started happening. Rosie and her big sister's time at that house ended up with a set of events that put the two young children in some very uncomfortable and confronting situations. Rosie and Lisa now get to talk about what happened at that time, how Rosie and her sister dealt with it in the months and years afterwards, and how that time now sits with Rosie years afterwards.
