Summary
The Sunday Times best seller.
Sammy Woodhouse was just 14 when she met Arshid Hussain. Ten years older, he promised to take care of her. Sammy thought she was in love, but in reality she was being groomed by a ringleader of Britain's most notorious child sex ring.
Just a Child tells the heartbreaking story of how a young girl from Rotherham was abused by her drug-dealing 'boyfriend', eventually giving birth to his baby, right under the nose of the very authorities who were meant to protect her. When reality dawned and Sammy realised she was one of countless vulnerable child victims - many of whom were trafficked around the north of England - she took it upon herself to blow the whistle and save others from a similar fate.
Thanks to Sammy's bravery, the gang was fully exposed, as well as the authorities that did little to help her. Her shocking account of how these events came to pass will enrage and sadden, but, above all, it will offer hope and show why this must never happen again.

Heart Breaking & Yet Half Way Throught..
I choose this book because it was something I have hardly heard off. But after coming to this country, it was something which I saw on news, heard from Collegue’s& friend & recently listening to crime audiobooks.
Coming from a country where “ child abuse” was only subject I have heard of. where some children were either beaten merciless or sort of treated as slaves.
I am still half way through, and already do not want to listen it further. But small part of me wants to know how she overcame it, and what she has done/ doing to help society.
Again this book is very important book for people to listen, especially the parents ( being 1myself ). And help keep our children and society safe.
Sammy Woodhouse thank you for your courage.

brilliant
In an ideal world we would never have to be told about this. narration was brilliant, information was superb, the detail was great but without being unnecessarily graphic or gratuitous. the things this woman went through, only to then come out of the other side and lead such a huge and high-profile campaign so successfully is nothing short of inspirational. I would suggest everybody listens to this, even if it is not their topic of choice. it is at the very least thought-provoking and gives a lot of room for the mind to consider what is wrong with the world. at the very best, it opens your eyes to a world that most of us, thank god, know nothing of, and yet all should.

I found this book a true eye opener. I feel there should be so much more awareness to youngsters about grooming. What a brave woman
