Mother's Nightmare: Abuse Repeated in Care
21 May
Summary
- Daughter experienced abuse at two separate care facilities.
- Muckamore Abbey Hospital central to major abuse investigation.
- Mother lost faith in the care system after daughter's treatment.

A mother's hope for her daughter's well-being has been shattered by repeated incidents of abuse and neglect within the care system. Alicia Fox was treated at Muckamore Abbey Hospital, an institution for adults with severe mental health needs. Following her discharge, her mother Catherine held onto optimism for a fresh start.
However, this hope was short-lived. Within months, Alicia was transferred to residential care, only to face the same pattern of abuse and neglect. Muckamore Abbey Hospital is now at the center of a significant investigation into adult safeguarding and abuse, representing the largest of its kind in NHS history.
