Relationships often begin with promises. With charm.With the feeling of having found someone special.

That was the case with Samuel Ginda, a civil construction worker living between London and Birmingham, linked to the companies Samuel & CO Ltd and High Street Living Ltd.A man who appeared confident, charismatic, and successful.

But behind the smile and the carefully crafted image, there was a silent and destructive pattern of control, manipulation, and abuse.

This is not just one woman’s story. It reflects the reality that many women face every single day.

The Beginning: When Control Disguises Itself as Care

Early signs are often subtle.

Sharp words disguised as concern.Criticism presented as “opinions.”Restrictions framed as protection.

Over time, the control becomes stronger:

• What to wear

• Who to talk to

• How to behave

• When to rest

In public, he humiliated her. At home, he apologized.

This cycle of affection and aggression creates emotional dependence, making it harder for a woman to leave.

The Escalation of Violence

Slowly, the home stopped being a place of safety. It became a territory of fear.

Samuel alternated between moments of calm and sudden outbursts of rage.Shouting, slammed doors, objects thrown.The smell of alcohol.The rising tension.

There were hair-pulling, slaps, and episodes so violent that recovery took days.

And the next morning, he behaved as if nothing had happened, placing the blame on her instead:

“You’re too emotional.” “You provoked me.” “You’re imagining things.”

This is the core of domestic abuse:breaking the mind before breaking the body.

The Night Everything Changed

In September, the cycle exploded.

A disagreement turned into a physical attack. - Repeated - Cruel - Relentless

In pain and emotionally exhausted, she found the strength to go to the police.She reported everything, trembling but determined.

For the first time, she believed she might finally be protected.

The Abduction: A Blow No Mother Should Face

When she returned home after reporting him, the silence was alarming. And then she saw it: emptiness.

Her baby’s toys were gone. His clothes.His bottles. Everything.

Samuel Ginda had vanished with their child.

The next morning, the police asked her to go to Birmingham. She ran, hoping to see her child again.

She reached out to Samuel’s family and was met with threats.

She knew the child was inside that house. She knew Samuel was not acting alone. And she realized she was fighting not only her abuser, but an entire system that was failing her.

When the Justice System Turns Against the Victim

She spent twelve long hours going from one police station to another, repeating her story through tears and fear.

Eventually, the police located Samuel.

Her child was physically safe.

But he would not be returned to her.

The next day, she received two court orders:a Non-Molestation Order and an Occupation Order—both issued against her, without her presence,based solely on the claims of the man she had just reported for abuse.

The alleged abuser became the “victim.”The real victim became the “threat.”

A painful and devastating reflection of how the system can fail women who seek help.

He Took Almost Everything. Almost.

Samuel took her safety.

He took her peace.

He took her home.

He took her child.

But he could not take her courage.

She continues to fight.

She continues to speak.

She continues to seek justice, not only for herself, but for all the women who go through similar situations with no one to defend them.

Why This Story Matters

Because domestic violence is not just bruises and visible injuries.

It is silence.

It is manipulation.

It is fear.

It is isolation.

It is the system failing those who need it most.

Sharing these stories matters.Naming abusive behavior matters.Raising awareness matters.
