Dad with Knife

This is one child's image of the day her father attacked her with a knife, cutting her shoulder.

When asked why she had not put herself in the picture the girl, who now lives in a refuge with her mother, said it would have been too distressing.

More than 50,000 children in Scotland have a drug addict parent and 100,000 have an alcoholic parent.
