Viewers applaud Milly Dowler’s ‘brave’ sister as she releases this touching unseen footage

Milly’s case tore up the hearts of the nation when she vanished in 2002, but what’s more, she later sparked the downfall of national newspaper News Of The World when they were discovered to have hacked the teenager’s phone and give her family false hope.

Here is my video Silence Is Shameful. Buy the song and support the voiceless.
