Unloved
This story begins and ends with a photograph taken when I was two years old. Finding it was like discovering that I really did exist after all. It was as if someone was saying No it wasnt all in your imagination that childhood really did happen and it happened to you. Brought up in South London by violent and abusive parents the Roche children knew only cruelty neglect starvation and squalor. As one of ten and regularly beaten Peter searched dustbins for food and slept rough when he couldnt face going home.It was survival at all costs every child for itself. Expelled from school at the age of 14 Peters life of petty crime landed him in borstal - and exposed him to yet more sickening abuse. Then years later a chance meeting with a social worker led to his discovery of a photograph - a
portrait taken by Lord Snowdon of a toddler dressed in rags. It was an image that had shocked the world. The boy in the picture was Peter. Unloved" is a harrowing account of a shattered childhood told by a man who has finally found the courage to speak out. This is his story."
