If anyone gets this message before 5pm Kim is being interview by richard and Judy tonight and will talk about the baby.....

My heart went out to Kim this evening when I watched her interview with R & J...Kim suffered terrible abuse from her mother when she was a child and spent time in childrens homes where she recieved terrible treatment too...as a young girl on her own.left by her boyfriend she had the stillborn baby boy and did bury him in a park in Liverpool the next day...at this part of the interview Kim got very upset...she had been asked by the police not to say too much on tv as mentioned by Richard who was able to explain and tell her story as the facts were in her book.....I think Kim should recieve support and understanding especially from us....as Richard says it still happens today after a feoutis(sp) was found in a bin at heathrow airport......Kim has obviously never got over what has happened and was never shown any love by her mother because she was born a girl and not a boy as her father had wanted and her mother was an alcholic and blamed Kim being born a girl for the breakdown of the marriage............God Bless you Kim ...

That's so sad, what an awful life she had, her parents sound like horrible people. Didn't see the interview so thanks for putting that up Chaddy.

I didn't see it either. She certainly had a rotten life in her youth. I wonder what Aggie makes of it all?

i saw it and was in tears, what a life she's had. she has my respect and utmost sympathy. Going to definately buy the book!

Agree with you there Sunny, only seen what people have written on here & the CQ forum, but sounds like she had a terrible start in life. I'll be buying the book too. It must have been hard for her meeting Aggies 2 sons, it must have reminded her of her baby.

i can't even understand why the police are involved. she probably treated the baby with more respect than the authorities would have done, in those days. a retired nurse friend of mine said that it was common practice up until just a few years ago to place stillborn babies either in someone elses coffin, or to dispose of them as clinical waste, which seems awful to me. I don't blame her for the action she took, and my heart goes out to her.The police involvement seems callous and unneccessary to me. i suppose they have thier reasons though...

Suppose they do still have to be involved, but hope she gets help if she needs it, which she probably will, even after all that time.

On a lighter note, the new series of HC starts on Sep 6th!!! Can't wait, some of the houses look horrendous, should be great

I can fully sympathise with Kim ,I had a stillborn baby 16 yrs ago and apart from having to register his death (wich I had to do the NEXT DAY!!) when you get six weeks for a live birth , I had no support at all , we had a funeral but were not allowed to mark where his ashes where ,there was just a plaque saying "For all the stillborn babies "
I hope she gets some help and sympathy , the only thing she did wrong was not register him XXX

I saw it, Thanks to Chaddy giving me a ring to let me know it was on. Glad I saw it. I would like to read the book..

Sandrina, I also went through the heartbreak of a stillborn daughter, 2 weeks from full term.
I left the hospital without my baby, and we also had to arrange a funeral, only mothers who go through such a traumatic time like this really understand, I had my family and other young son to go home to, I had a husband, and family to care for me at that sad time. It must have been horrific for her so alone. She has to live with this terrible memory, and hope she finds an inner peace, now that she has brought it to the surface.

and to Goddess and all the other mums who have experience such a sadness, I say, god has to have some flowers in his garden, our babies are these flowers.

So sorry to read that Goddess, it must have been devastating. Dif you ever get any help? Hope they're more compassionnate now.
