Hello nipper,

Unfortunately we can't fix the formatting once it has gone up.  But I wouldn't worry, it can be read and, on my browser, it looks fine. 

Next time, if you want to copy and paste, try removing all formatting first by pasting it in a simple text programme like Microsoft Notepad.

Best wishes,

If anyone does have difficulty reading the poem, just hilight it all, copy and paste into Wordpad, Notepad or something and it comes out fine.

But, Nipper, how eloqently you describe the awfulness of what you went through.  Are we ever going to be able to tell kids how to deal with this problem or is it just one of life's terrible injustices, that has to be borne by the helpless and innocent?

Could anyone or anything have rescued you?
