Family members immediately dismiss allegations as lies and make comments such as "“You have brought shame on all the Marsden's by lying, there will be a nice long line of people wanting to smack you. Never again will I think I have a sister.”
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why so many victims refuse to come forward. Having your allegations of abuse being investigated by the appropriate bodies is one thing, to suffer an immediate hysterical reaction from your own family is quite something else. Surely until the facts of the allegations are established, one way or another, the alleged victim deserves support and understanding from family members, not more vile and threatening abuse.
Caroline has now made a complaint about the abuse to West Yorkshire Police. She said: “It’s just disgusting. They are the very people I thought I would get support from.
