A BRAVE Rubery teenager, who was held a knifepoint during a raid at her parents' village pub, is sharing her experiences to help other victims of crime.
Christa Lindsey has taken part in a video called 'Through the Eyes of Children' produced by West Midlands Police and South West Birmingham Victim Support.
It features stories of crime told by young victims to help others come to terms with events.
The 15-year-old's life was shattered when three masked raiders broke into The Cock, in Rubery Lane, in April.
She awoke in the early hours to find a man in her bedroom with a large knife and was dragged to her parent's room where another thug was poking her dad, Ashley, with a pole.
Her mum, Tina, had been dragged to the pub's safe.
Christa, who still has nightmares about the ordeal and sleeps with a mobile phone under her bed, received vital help from victim support.
