Who Is Tanya Kach?

Tanya Kach, a troubled 14-year-old, faced numerous personal challenges that put her at risk, enduring relentless bullying at school and a difficult family life, leaving her desperately unhappy.

However, her life took a turn when she befriended Tom Hose, the school’s security guard-but, gradually their friendship took a dark turn as he began to manipulate and groom her.

Eventually, Tanya found herself visiting Tom’s home, only to become his captive and suffer from his abuse for an entire decade; shockingly, Tom allowed her to take on a part-time job.

This is because he believes he has completely brainwashed her, certain that she will always stay by his side-however, reality proves otherwise.

Once away from Tom’s controlling gaze, Tanya gathers the strength to bravely move towards liberation.
