Sandra and Andrew Harper physically and emotionally abused five children at their home under the noses of social workers and took in dozens of youngsters during their career.
Victims of a depraved foster couple who subjected vulnerable children to sickening abuse over almost two decades have demanded answers over their reign of terror.
“Seeing Sandra Harper and hearing her voice again takes you back to that place. Your heart starts pounding. Your mouth is dry. You feel scared. These are horrible people who have absolutely no accountability for what they’ve done and no shame.” Andrew Harper was convicted of assaulting the same child by grabbing her by the clothing and shouting at her over a period of two years.
“I was told that if I ever spoke out, I would destroy the family and would be on my own. That was a big fear for me. When I was standing up there in court I was so terrified. But I made myself stare them down.” He said: “I was called a s**stic and threatened that I’d end up in the local special needs school. It was the daily shouting, screaming, name calling, belittling and shaming that was the real trauma of it all. It sticks with you.”
