Meanwhile, Jean was on paired for motherhood, often ignoring her for children and turning a blind eye to her husband's brutality. The abuse so bad that when Robert was only six months old neighbours old social services, the monthly children were swiftly removed from their home for their own safety and placed in ass with house, a Catholic orphanage in Liverpool, the now with house nuns, provided the Maudesley children with something they never had at home, a sense of stability and safety sooner.

Visited the orphanage which greatly confused their children. Robert siblings no longer recognise the strangers claiming to be their parents. Which and Jean convinced authorities that they were changed people and deserve to have their children back. So so

we'll services stopped the adoption process and returned the Maudesley children to their family home.

They went without if they were caught, their father beat them Robert as one of the younger children may have received the worst of the abuse. At one point, Robert claims that George locked him in a room for six months visiting to be him several times a day as well. Bert grew up. The abuse only escalated, same locked room.

Bird was again removed by social services. His parents didn't fight the decision for the night, six years, Robert wasn't foster care, it seemed after he left the orphanage Robert, never really found a place where he was safe and cared for, let alone love.

In nineteen sixty nine sixteen year Old Robert ran away from the foster care system and set off for London. He likely hoped that Big city would offer him a fresh start away from the darkness of his past. If that's what he searched for, they didn't find it London wasn't a safe haven.

do old. Robert John Maudesley had already lived in incredibly troubled life after from his abusive childhood here I've been London hoping for a fresh start. Unfortunately, he fell into a deep She was the victim of sexual assault and attempted suicide. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals, but nothing ever lasted. Possible. He lost interest in seeking treatment or that the system deemed him not worth helping alone. Cause. It seemed not even the murderous voices in his head troubled authorities enough to offer Robert the help he needed oh, he was never publicly diagnosed with a mental illness. Robertson, mission that he heard, voices instructing him to kill, along with his repeated attacks, to take his own life suggests that he may have lived with skit, so effective disorder According to the dsl five people with skits

disorder suffers psychosis, delusions and hallucinations in addition to the symptoms of a mood disorder such as mania or depression, according to doctors, Tom Joshua, p. Why and Abdul raises, sought a body skit so effectively. Order, can have devastating effects if left untreated, including Isolation and inability to take care of oneself and the thoughts and actions Robert exhibited, these traits. What he spent time in the hospital following is suicide attempts, but again it seems he received neither an official diagnosis or the help needed. Instead, he returned to the streets and fell back into the cycle of drug addiction, abuse and self harm its hardest. What might have happened to Robert had he not met John Feral, but one night in the fall of nineteen. Seventy three he was approached on a client London treat by man and his thirties, John

Feral was a construction worker who lived in wood, green, a suburban area on the outskirts of London. There told Robert. He was recently divorced and looking for a companion for the evening but fairly, looking to pay. Instead, he wanted to pursue. A casual relationship with Robert. It was likely an unusual proposition for the twenty role for whom I've been sex, we're not related, so he Did the opportunity for a relationship such as it was with the EU. Wealthier man, it was a chance to get off the street at least temporarily and enjoy some amount of support, either financial or emotional. Before long, their meetings were a regular occurrence, one of the more stable pieces of Roberts life. Time they met Pharaoh met Robert in the city then went to there to his house in wood green. Would usually use drugs during their nights. Together, a habit feral tolerated

on one visit after they ve been seeing each other for about six months. Feral announced that he had a surprise for Robert as usual operate was under the influence of some substance or another and bear paying attention but still Feral was insistent he wanted. Robert in on a secret one. He hoped woods I saw. The relationship excited Feral pulled out us of photographs from his dresser and presented them to his young companion in is drug. Doubt State Roberts go to understand what he was saying. Wanting a reaction, feral prodded Robert to look closer, so he did his eyes. Focused on the photos and suddenly with horror. He realized what he was looking at church of young children being sexually abused in an instant

all of his childhood memories came flooding back the children in barrels. Photographs reminded him of his own trauma of being locked job, beaten and raped by his father. His mind, raced his thoughts, jumbled and foggy fur grinned, perhaps interpreting the silence as admiration he brag about what he done to the boys in the pictures he asked Robert If he liked what he saw. Robert did not the just disgusted him once more, he felt trade by somebody thought he could trust. Feral had turned out to be just another abuser like his parents and vat enraged, Robert stood up trying to process his anger through the drug induced haze. He couldn't look at the pictures or feral any longer. Confuse

used and annoyed by Roberts Reaction Feral asked again what he thought of the pictures. Finally, Pharaoh got to the point he studied I did Robert to do what the kids in the pictures were doing. Robert was horrified by the suggestion, and things began to move. The glee. The voices in his head screamed amplifying every aggressive, ambitious emotion. He felt They wanted him to take revenge. They wanted him to kill, Robert stood and paste around the room ass. The voices in his head demanded justice for the children in those photos and for himself his parents worn they're. So he couldn't make them pay for what they done to him, but he could take revenge on the child abusers standing in front of him. He would get vengeance for the boys in the photographs. Robert

oddly decided that John Feral deserved to die his eyes darted around the room until he found a suitable weapon. We can't be sure what Robert picked up, but it was likely at length. Break or road. When he saw it, the sinister Missus bird him on telling him to do next, he grabbed the rope and tackled feral onto the bed at first, the older man seem to think he was playing around, so he didn't resist as Robert wrapped the noose around his neck. Then Robert started to pull by that. Feral realised what was actually happening. It was too late. Robert didn't let go until feral was still weather, unconscious or dead, made no difference. Robert would make sure he couldn't hurt anyone ever again, he pulled out. Pocket knife and stabbed federal multiple times, but he was satisfied their need

to be more suffering, so he found a hammer. Smashed in the man skull to finish the job standing the body Robert thought about what he should do. Next, he could return to the London streets and carry on as if nothing happened or he could flee the sick, in find a safer home elsewhere. Try this again. He couldn't up his mind. But when the adrenaline wore off when the drugs left his system, Robert was horrified by what he done he realized that he'd lost control that here dangerous, like you abusers. He deserved to face the consequences of his actions. He decided not to run instead, he would turn himself in thinking about it, Robert Hope, the police I agree that the murder was a service to the community. After all, he killed a pedophile

when he spoke to would green police. He told them that he just killed a man and that he desperately needed help, but there was little help. Please could give him they took, Albert to an interrogation room where he laid out the events of the previous night. Meanwhile, officers went to John Perils home where they found his body exactly as Robert described after Robert Arrest, the court consulted with psychiatrist to determine whether he was fit to stand trial for murder in an attempt to bed, understand him. The court likely heard the full story of Roberts life there. The goal and sexual abuse, the foster homes, his drug addiction, the suicide attempts and the He says in his head, but Robert didn't expect to escape consequences of his actions. In fact, he won to go to jail. Perhaps he bought prison was a place he would find. Be taken care of protected, but the court, didn't send him to prison. Instead, the judge decline

that the twenty one year old was unfit to stand trial. So in one. Seventy four Robert was sentenced to life imprisonment at the broad, more psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane and unfortunately that was the last Robert needed the blow or a psychiatric hospital and bark sure was an intimidating structure with imposing brick architecture and barbed wire fencing it looked less like a house it'll and more like a maximum security prison, the courts and GO villages treated it as such, and the staff work much better, broad, more pain, were subjected to dehumanizing treatment from being kept an arm and a leg shackles to physical abuse from the nursing staff.
