Yes I just find things like this hard to believe. How on earth do you cope with something like that? It must leave mental scars

Re: The Lady with no hands

i suppose its not a case of coping, its a case of HAVING to cope, and not give up

Re: The Lady with no hands

From what I have read and people that I have talked to... Agnes coped remarkably well:
Agnes and her mum were well supported by the local town. The town shocked and horrified by this tragic doing.
The step father John Whalley got life in prison ( just how long he did I am not sure) but its nothing compared to what Agnes and her mum had to face over the years... not to mention the other people involved:
This is a true story, showing remarkable courage from a little girl and her mother… its covered in the Accrington Observer and Times and various books…

My Dad recalls hearing about this but it is very vague; he lived in Accrington at the time; he is 70 now. Hope this gives us some kind of perspective.

Such an awful story but very interesting. It would be good to know more about her life.

That is such an appalling story. How could anyone be so cruel? It's amazing that the child didn't bleed to death. What an awful sight for the PC.
