The foster carer of a woman held in servitude for 25 years by Amanda Wixon has urged a formal inquiry into how authorities failed to intervene sooner. Amanda Wixon, a 56-year-old mother of ten from Tewkesbury, was sentenced to 13 years in prison following revelations of prolonged abuse. The victim, now in her mid-40s and living with a learning disability, was taken into Wixon’s home at age 16 in 1995. Over the next quarter century, she endured severe physical and psychological torment.
