'RUINED HER LIFE'
Angel Lynn’s mum sobs as she reveals she will NEVER forgive thug kidnapper after daughter left unable to talk or walk
ANGEL Lynn's devastated mum sobbed today as she revealed she will NEVER forgive her teenage daughter's kidnapper.
In a heartbreaking interview, Nikki Lynn told how 19-year-old Angel is unable to walk, talk or eat since falling from a van at 60mph after she was kidnapped by Chay Bowskill.

Bowskill, 20, was filmed grabbing Angel “like a rag doll”, carrying her across a busy street and throwing her into the back of a Transit, which sped off.
Moments later, the college student, who had been in a relationship with Chay, fell from the vehicle, suffering a brain damage so bad she is unable to walk, talk or feed herself.
Speaking of her daughter's relationship with her kidnapper, mum Nikki, 47, told Good Morning Britain: "She's amazing, beautiful. She's good fun, she was just really happy before she met him.
"She had lots of friends, now he's just taken everything away from our family.
"He's taken all that away and I just can't forgive him now, ever."
Bowskill was convicted of kidnap and coercive behaviour, but cleared of pushing Angel out of the van.
He was sentenced to a total of seven and a half years in prison last week and will serve half his sentence behind bars — three years and nine months.

Taking into account time already served on remand he will become eligible for release in June 2024.
Angel’s family said they are outraged that Bowskill, who was with his friend Rocco Sansome, 20, for the ambush on September 27, 2020, got just two years for the kidnap — even though the offence carries a maximum sentence of life.
And they said they planned to call for a review of the kidnap sentence, saying it was “unduly lenient”.
The family - - have called on their case to also be sent to the Court of Appeal.
Mum Nikki, a cleaner, blasted this morning: "It's nothing. The other lad said it's ruined his life - he's not got a clue."
“We want justice for our daughter and enough money to bring her home where she belongs, with her family.
"I think [the sentence] should be looked at again and I think he should be given a longer sentence. The judge said you are looking at a hefty sentence, I don't think he got a hefty sentence at all.
"Angel will probably still be in bed when he's out, ruining somebody else's life."
It comes after the Attorney General, Suella Braverman, has confirmed she has received a complaint about the sentence handed out last week.
Britain's top lawyer and her legal advisers will now examine the case files to determine if it should be referred to the Court of Appeal for a formal review.
Legal experts have backed Angel's family's calls for a review - pointing out the suggested starting point for kidnap is 18-months - meaning Bowskill only got six months more.
Bowskill could have faced up to life behind bars for the offence - and a judge even recognised the serious harm caused.
Angel suffered life-changing injuries in September 2020, when she was hauled into the back of a van by Bowskill.

She later fell out and suffered a fractured skull and brain injuries that have left her requiring round-the-clock care.
