Dawn Griffiths
Synopsis:
Being kidnapped as a baby was the best thing that ever happened to me.
For Dawn Griffiths, it was a moment she had dreaded and dreamed of in equal measure: the day her beloved teenage daughter would leave home, and her mother's watchful care, to set off alone into the world.
Earlier this week, she waved off her 18-year-old daughter Alex from Middlesbrough train station on the first leg of a trip to the Italian Riviera. To her surprise, she was able to hold back her tears.
While thousands of such scenes are played out across the country every summer, for years Dawn felt it was something she could not contemplate.
