Blog

Not too many words this week, mainly pictures. The creative design studio I’ve engaged have been incredibly busy building the new website for The Lizzie Gladwell Crisis campaign, and I am delighted to share a few ‘sneak peek’ screenshots of how it will look:

The iconic bird family, representing Jeremy, Jane and Lizzie Gladwell, was inspired by the beautiful bird picture that Lizzie painted for us when we were staying in a holiday cottage near Dumfries … six months before she was taken by Coral on the day after Lizzie’s eighteenth birthday:

Lizzie’s painting captures her own wide-eyed innocence, and it is that immense vulnerability that the images on the new website seek to convey. Lizzie was trusting, immensely susceptible to manipulation, cognitively impaired … a prime target for predatory removal.

Two years ago. Jane and I too were trusting. We trusted that the statutory agencies would act swiftly to safeguard such a vulnerable individual from coercion and exploitation.

We are now two years wiser.
We seek answers.
We expect accountability.

The new website will be the home of the blog, as well as being the hub for resources, information on FASD, and press releases.

It will also be the link to the podcast, with Series 2 set to begin shortly.

Thank you all for your thoughts and support, it means so much to us.
