Letter: Mary Bell
Your support helps us to tell the story
In my reporting on women's reproductive rights, I've witnessed the critical role that independent journalism plays in protecting freedoms and informing the public.
Your support allows us to keep these vital issues in the spotlight. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to fight for truth and justice.
Every contribution ensures that we can continue to report on the stories that impact lives

AS YOU comment in your leading article (30 April), cycles of childhood abuse and cruelty are repeated endlessly. If Mary Bell has succeeded thus far in providing her 14-year-old daughter with loving care, is this not a matter of some hope? And doesn't she and those who over the years have tried to help her deserve some credit?
