Verdant 002 001

I don't know who's going to read this, or whether it will do any good. But I've spent the last few months trying to piece together what actually happened to my daughter, because nobody at that school, or that company, seemed interested in giving me a straight answer.

What follows is everything I've managed to gather - some of it through the police, some of it through complaints I made myself, and one thing I found that I still don't fully understand, but that I think matters.

I'm not a journalist. I'm not an investigator. I'm just her mum, and I wasn't going to stop asking questions.

I've put it together in the order that made most sense to me as I tried to understand what happened.
