Mother of 10 found guilty of keeping teenage girl as ‘house slave’ for 25 years

The woman, who is now in her mid-40s, was 16 when she moved into the squalid home of mother-of-10 Amanda Wixon (56) in 1995 and remained there until 2021.

Gloucester Crown Court heard the woman was regularly beaten and also hit with a broom handle – knocking out her teeth.

Her food was limited by Wixon, and she lived off scraps, could not leave the house and was forced to secretly wash at night.

What a horrid story. At least there is some sigh of relief with this first sentence.

Since being rescued, the woman is now living with a foster family, attending college and has been on holidays abroad. She has suffered nightmares about her ordeal, and has a constant wish to clean.

The way its described it sounds like she will get away with a couple years, but anything less than life is insanity if you ask me. She should get a charge for torture.
