There’s a whole thread from when Bradley’s daughter went public about her mother. There’s even a link in there somewhere to a deposition Bradley gave about her husband in which the prosecuting attorney makes it clear that he knows she’d been abusing her daughter and they’re not interested in pursuing the matter right now. I’d say the evidence is pretty damning.

I highly recommend reading more or that new book collecting some of her best ones). Walton commented how interesting it was that Bradley was able to make a three dimensional character out …

Her daughter’s poem about the way Bradley abused her is painful to read.
