The Tangled Web

This account recounts how one household was worked over, misled and held in check by a woman hired to look after their adult son, who had an intellectual disability. Written from the family's side, it follows the slow realisation that the person they trusted was exploiting a vulnerable man for her own gain. The author also examines how the justice system did not spot the danger or act to halt it. Presented as a true story, the book is intended as a warning for anyone who relies on outside carers for a loved one.
