A mum at just 12 years old
I just hope that she doesn't blame me
Born into extreme poverty in Broxburn, Scotland, Tressa Middleton, now 21, was in care from a young age. Reunited with her mother and family, she watched as alcohol and drugs tore apart their family.
And from tragic beginnings came yet more misery. Raped by her older brother Jason, Tressa gave birth to a child at the tender age of just 12.
After eventually giving her child up for adoption, Tressa is now finally coping with her demons, and has detailed her struggle in a new book.
