Ugly

Constance's mother abused her, both physically and emotionally. Beaten and starved, the girl was so desperate she took herself off to Social Services, and tried to get taken into care. When that failed, she swallowed bleach. Later, her mother simply moved out, leaving her to fend for herself, with no gas, electricity or food.
