Father locked me in tbe basement again but I had my phone with me and looked up where i could get help on Google. The first thimg that popped up was childline. I pressed on it and it came up with a phone number.

Anxiously I phoned this number and a kind lady picked up the phone. I told her everything and felt like I could reall trust her.

She offered if she could phone social services nut not tell them thst it was me giving the information. I agreed and within a few minutes they were here. The police arrested father and took me to a children's home. A few months later I was adopted by a warm kind couple. I love it at there house and at my new school. I felt safe. I felt a new beginning and best of all, I felt hope.
