I have been regular contact now with Chantal and her mother Diane since I read her story in cosmopolitan magazine 2 years ago, and there is not a single day that passes with out at least one thought of her. I speak regularly on the phone to Diane and feel very close to her now. I write weekly to Chantal and try and get on the web site at least once a week (I do not have my own computer).

I would really like to say that although Chantal is the very innocent person in all this and that we must make an effort to support her continually, please let's not forget Diane, her stepfather Len, DEB and everyone else who is putting all their time, efforts and money into trying to fight for Chantal.  We still must think of Chantal daily but please, and I know Channel will agree, spare a thought for her family and friends who are doing all the really hard work trying to free her and get her life back together.
