Shy Keenan’s Wirral childhood was a living hell at the hands of a paedophile ring. Greg O’Keeffe hears why she continues to fight the multi-billion pound internet child sex industry
LAST year a year-old man clambered up onto a bridge and threw himself off.
The music-loving football fan took his own life.
But, in a way, he was murdered.
Unable to live a moment longer with the psychological scars of childhood sexual abuse, he chose to stop existing.
He was driven to death by a beast called Stanley Claridge. A paedophile who derailed dozens of young Merseyside lives and is presently behind bars.
Now the traumatic narrative of how Claridge and his vile associates systematically abused children in Wirral’s Noctorum estate is to be published, thanks to the bravery of one victim.
At the age of four Shy Noonan had the extreme misfortune of becoming Claridge’s step-daughter. She was then raped every day, in various grotesque ways, while often being beaten by her mother.
When she was 10, Shy was attacked so viciously b
Broken : The Most Shocking Childhood Story Ever Told
I think any book on this subject deserves a five star rating if only because the poor mites have the courage finally to tell all however horrible that might be. it certainly can’t be easy living through it all again. Amazon has rejected some of my reviews of books i have read and been honest about and yet, this kind of honesty is really the kind of honesty that should be admired and rightly is but my point is, what I’ve said is insignificant compared to what these people suffer at the hands of their so-called protectors but worse than the atrocious acts they perform on the defenceless is the excuses they make for doing it and the lies they tell when things go wrong for them. They are worse than animals and worse than the most evil monster any horror writer can imagine. I’d like to put Jennifer and Stanley up against a wall and shoot them both only that would be too easy. it would be all over too quickly. They say we shouldn’t bring back the death penalty and, for the most part, I’d agree but in this case I’d willingly make an exception because peo
Broken
These are the authors words describing her going against her abusers defense team many, many years after the fact. I'd use those words to describe almost every single experience of her entire childhood.
The cover of this book claims it to be "the most shocking true story of abuse ever told". When I saw that I took it with a grain of salt- EVERY abuse case is shocking, every abuse case is horrible. Well, they were right. I've read countless books of this nature and have yet to come across anything even close to what this woman endured as a toddler, child, and teenager.
Shy Keenan was abused basically from birth, sexually, physically, emotionally and any other kind you can think of. There were very few people in her life that didn't abuse her and those few were kept far away by her "mother" (I use the quotes because while she was her birth mother I have a truly hard time calling the woman a mother) and step father. During her childhood and teenage years she was repeatedly molested and raped by her step father, sold to his friends and friends of their friends, made to pose nude for pictures, and so much more.
She tried more than once

Talks about using her experience of being abused to help others Shy Keenan's book 'Broken' documents the horrific abuse she suffered from the age of 4 to 14 at the hands of her stepfather. She finally was able to help convict him 25 years later, by which time he had gone on to abuse many other children. Shy joins Jenni to tell her about the organisation she now runs called Phoenix Survivors, which offers support to victims of child sexual abuse. Shy also tracks down active paedophiles online; work that has led to her needing round the clock protection.
