Summary
Innocent is the shocking true story of little Molly and Kit, siblings, aged three 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.

A gamble that paid off!
Not my type of book I thought when I came across it, but my son and daughter are similar age to the 2 on the picture (Molly and Kit), and my partner is a social worker so I decided to give it a try. A decision I realised was the right one from the very first chapter.
Such a powerful story that had me hooked from start to finish. A reminder of how precious our children are, and how mental illness can tear a family apart.
I look forward to listening to more from Cathy and I’m really pleased that her others on here have the same Lady narrating them.

It needs a special person to become a Foster carer
What a heart wrenching story I could never become a Foster carer. How ungrateful these parents were

Such a sad story
I have read many of Cathy’s books and they are all as good as the last. This story is particularly sad and really makes you feel for all involved.

Great story but sad ending.
Another really good book by this author, I have to say i was concerned about the condition that the mother had. I agree it's good that she realised she'd been in the wrong and did something about it. However this is a serious condition and I would question weather it's a condition you can truely recover from. I really hope in this case that the write choice was made and that these children will be ok.

Heart wrenching and well written
Cathy Glass's fostering memoirs are well written and very moving. I love the little details Cathy gives that has made me fall in love with each and every child she writes about and her own family. I have listened to every book at least 3 times. They give an insight into the world of fostering, adoption and parenting that has, I believed made me a better teacher and parent - more patient, more understanding and generally more aware. Along with other fostering memoirs, these books have inspired my mum to consider a fostering carer and I hope to foster once my own children are older. Thank you Cathy and Demica.
