When Rachel arrived at her after-school club with a black eye, the play leader gently took her to one side and asked what had happened.
Using sign language, the deaf nine-year-old described how her father had punched her. She then told how her mum had thrown a telephone at her head after losing her temper one afternoon.
One of Rachel's brothers, a two-year-old, also went to the club and was often covered in bruises and dressed in filthy clothes.
The play leader's daughter - an occasional baby-sitter for Rachel's family - had described seeing dog mess around the flat, piles of rubbish and old mattresses thrown on the floor for the kids to sleep on.
