Warning: This article contains discussion of child abuse which some readers may find distressing.

The son of ‘Britain’s most evil parent’ has revealed his worst memories of the horrific childhood abuse he suffered.

When Christopher Spry was around three years old, he was fostered by Eunice Spry, along with his little sister Alloma.

The woman was apparently seen as a ‘bit of a hero’ in the local community and was ‘well regarded’ by residents in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. However, he told LADbible that things ‘got kind of messed up really quickly’.

She soon started to inflict heinous punishments on the kids as the strict Jehovah’s Witness believed they ‘were sinning all the time’.

"She would be quoting scriptures to try and point out everything we were doing was a sin," Christopher said.

The man explained how some of his worst memories from his childhood include ‘getting hit round the back of the head with an iron bar and blacking out and coming round minutes later'.

He continued: “Probably within the course of a month, we went from having very basic Jehovah's Witness-style discipline to torture very quickly. And this torture ranged from being forced to stay up all night, not allowed to sleep.

"Daily beatings and forcing us to tell on each other," he said. "If one of us fell asleep, we would have to wake Eunice up and she would punish us, or we'd keep a tally and she'd punish us the next morning.

"Or walking up and down stairs for hours on end. Kind of messed-up stuff."

In 1996, the evil mum pulled the kids out of school and moved them to a farmhouse which later became known as ‘the torture house’. Christopher and the others were then forced by Eunice to watch the man who owned it, John Drake, die.

Eventually, the woman’s horrific crimes were uncovered, with the man describing his childhood as ‘like being at war’.

She was convicted of 26 charges of child abuse against children in her care and received a 14-year prison sentence with the judge naming it the 'worst case in his 40 years practising law'.

But a year later in 2008, the High Court reduced Eunice’s sentence to 12 years.

Ultimately, she was released in June 2014 after serving just over seven years of her sentence.
