BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama, Children in Need: Holding On to You, Episode 3

As Jay's hold on her gets stronger, will anyone be able to help Holly?

With mum Jo desperately worried, Jay's hold on 14-year-old Holly gets stronger. Can anyone help her? With Christine Bottomley.

D.L. Weller's powerful drama about child sexual exploitation and grooming.

Jo is desperately worried about her fourteen year old daughter Holly who she feels she is losing to something she does not understand and cannot control. To Holly it seems the only person she can turn to is her boyfriend Jay. As Jay's hold on Holly gets stronger will anyone be able to help her?

D.L. Weller has done extensive research with victims and their families and professionals working in child protection and safeguarding. Holding On To You, although fictional, is informed and inspired by these interviews. It explores a problem thought to affect tens of thousands of children, of all backgrounds, yet that still remains largely hidden and apparently unaddressed in many regions.
