Quotes by Mark Gillespie (?)

“The gorgeous, successful and wealthy couple who turned their backs on a child for a couple of seconds on Bournemouth Beach, only to pay the ultimate price. Every parent’s worst nightmare, and instead of sympathy, they were met with a hostile undercurrent of suspicion.”
