Debbie Leitch: Left For Dead

This week we head to the seaside resort of Blackpool. Home to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and the iconic Blackpool Tower, the town attracts millions of visitors every year. And it's not just tourists that flock to this quintessentially British holiday destination. Every year, thousands of people move to Blackpool from other parts of the UK. In 2016, 21-year-old Debbie Leitch and her mother, Elaine Clarke, moved there from Leeds, with Elaine's three other children. The move should have signalled the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives, but for Debbie, who had Down Syndrome, it heralded the beginning of the end when her life spiralled into a downward descent into hell where neglect, abuse and isolation reigned supreme. This is an infuriating story which contains descriptions of neglect and abuse that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised. We have made a donation to the Downs Syndrome Association (Home - Downs Syndrome Association) in honour of Debbie Leitch - if you are able to and would like to donate too, please hit the link below: Make a donation to the Down's Syndrome Association If you would like to access exclusive bonus content and support us on Patreon, you can find us here: www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast If you would like to GIFT a Patreon membership to a special someone, head to www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast/gift If you would like to buy us a coffee (or wine!), hit the link below: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw Get your merch here: www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears - check her work out at www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.
