'I look back now and see that I never stood a chance. It's hard
when you realise your whole childhood was taken away. I never got
the chance to be a child.' Shaneda Daly was only 6 years old when
her father started grooming her. For more than ten years, he would
go on to sexually abuse and rape his daughter at least once a day.
In her house of doom, the emotional and physical toll on Shaneda
was immense. Eventually, her ex-army and prison officer father
admitted to his family what he had been doing, agreeing to leave
home to get help. Returning after only a year, he was welcomed
back, apparently a changed man. With no choice but to accept it,
Shaneda lived alongside him again only for him to try and abuse her
once more. Shaneda managed to contact the police and leave home,
finally reclaiming her power and standing up to the man who
destroyed her childhood. Decades later, in 2011, she watched as her
father was convicted on 227 counts of abuse - the average number
that usually secures a conviction is less than 20. Shaneda now
fights as a campaigner for other victims and is bravely telling her
story fully for the first time: the story of a survivor.
