This Woman is amazing. The most heroic person I have ever come across. After all she has been through, she stood up to the world, when it was agaisnt her. I have read her book 'Street Kid' and it touched me amazingly. I cried so much as I was reading it. However I could not bring myself to let go of the book. To this day I still hace that book. :]

When I'm older. (15 Now)

I would love to Vist South Africa, and go and volenteer to help out at one of her charities.

She amazing. xx ♥♥

[Louizalass]

A truly inspiration woman. Her books 'Street Kid' and 'Street Kid Fights on' were were inspirational. She could teach the latest 'I know my rights' generation a thing or two. Very humbling.

[BigKidJim]

Proud to call her Grandma <3 xxx

Judy could have easily succumbed to her life in the streets or at the hands of her abusers and no one would have been the wiser. Instead, she has survived to tell her story and find a greater purpose on this earth. God Bless, Judy. You are truly a remarkable member of the human race and an inspiration to all.

What a lady. I was so touched by her book Street Kid. I dont know how she survived when many would have given up. Inspiring lady amazing in fact.

I got a copy of "Street Kid" a few days ago at a bookstore in Japan featuring used books. No sooner had I scanned the first few pages than I decided to read the whole story and found myself in a line for the cash register. I was really amazed to know how Judy's own father had tortured his own daughter. Nobody could have been mistreated by his/her parents like Judy. She is really an amazing woman. And I truly feel sorry for her deaf right ear.

@SuperDramaticSCENE i 100% agree. i have never been so moved by a book.

[InvernessScotts]

I am amazed that Judy survived her childhood, she is an  exceptional woman and continues to do great work for all the street kids in South Africa. Not many people would have the stamina or courage do do what Judy has accomplished over the years, a truly amazing woman!

Scottish Lass in West Texas!

@SuperDramaticSCENE check out her website, you CAN volenteer when your older and will tell you how. type in The Pegasus Childrens Trust into a search engine. im hoping to go over when my child is old enough to go a wee while without mummy, shes only 3 just now lol

[eepidoodle]

a true survivor. people like her make the world a better place. our children should be looking up to more people like judy, instead of the footballer/glamour girl combo. the world would be a better place! her story made me cry, and also gave me a greater appriciation of what i have. keep up the fantastic work!

[HitGirl1604]

her story was unbelievably sad!! i cried a lot while reading both her books! judy's books should definately become films!! that would show those people who laugh about this kind of stuff how terrible and sick it really is 2 treat people that way!! i couldn't believe how brave she was after being treated like that! most people would've died!! very sad/amazing story!!
