Let’s hope enough of them have given statements as surely they must have witnessed how Maddy was treated. They were given the opportunity to speak up anonymously.
Maddy deserves justice, let’s hope this investigation is more thorough & ALL witnesses are spoken to this time. He knows exactly what he’s done, I hope the net is closing in…..God bless you Maddy, & your wonderful family x
