Samantha Giufre, 19, suffered multiple fractures to her skull and face, along with bleeding on her brain on September 7, 2014 after being dragged along the street behind a car . CCTV footage released by police shows the moment she was towed behind the car before being found in a gutter on Myall Road in Casula, south west of Sydney on September 7 . 'I just felt destroyed, not like myself,' she told 9News, adding that one of the hardest things she's had to come to terms with is how she now looks. 'I'm blind in one eye now, I have limited vision in the other eye, I have hearing loss in one of my ears, one side of my nose I can't smell out of,' Ms Giufre revealed. The young woman's parents have been by her side since the horrible day, and say her life has been consumed by her recovery for the last six months. 'She's continually at the doctors, having surgeries, her whole life is just consumed with what's happened to her,' Ms Giufre's mother Karen said. Ms Giufre told 9News her life has been 'destroyed' by the violent attack which has left her with permanent disabilities . Her parents Karen (left) and Frank (right) said their daughter's life is now 'consumed' by what happened . One of Ms Giufre's alleged attackers, 18-year-old Basher Hawchar, was supposed to front court on Wednesday but instead sent legal representation . 'I look at Sam and I think that she's been held prisoner, and someone's thrown the key away, and we're just trying to find that key for her,' her father Frank revealed. On Wednesday Ms Guifre fronted court with the hopes of confronting one of her alleged attackers, 18-year-old Basher Hawchar. However he instead sent legal representation, dealing the victim of the senseless crime another blow. On his behalf, Hawchar's lawyer plead not guilty to four charges, including dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm. 'He needs to know how it feels, you know, how I feel,' Ms Guifre told 9News. The young woman has urged anyone else who was in the car to come forward . Last October when Ms Giufre was still in hospital, her parents spoke about their grave concerns that their daughter would have to learn to walk, talk and eat again. Ms Giufre was rushed to Liverpool Hospital in September where she spent time in intensive care after suffering multiple fractures to her skull and face, along with bleeding on her brain. 'We don't know whether she'll talk, whether she'll see. We don't know how she will end up, knowing that someone has taken that away from her. She's a good kid, she didn't deserve this,' her mother Karen said at the time. 'The image of Samantha when we saw of her in the hospital… I just want to see her like she was originally. She doesn't look like that any more.' Doctors believed early on that Samantha may have sustained permanent brain damage and could be blind in one eye following the incident. Footage of the incident, captured by a property's CCTV camera, shows a silver sedan driving down the street as Ms Giufre is dragged near the rear door of the vehicle . Her father Frank said the family were celebrating Father's Day when Samantha decided to go meet up with friends at Casula. Doctors believed early on that Samantha had sustained permanent brain damage and may be left blind in one eye following the incident . Her cousin gave her a lift about 5pm and by 6.30pm the family were told Samantha was in the emergency department. 'It's devastating. She had traumatic injuries and god knows what else was happening in her head,' he said following the horrific incident. 'We've been by her side 24 hours. I've given up work to be by her side.' The Giufre family say their daughter was a 'good girl' who had just finished a couple of courses through TAFE. 'She didn't have enemies,' Mr Giufre said. Her parents pleaded for anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward as police try to track down the driver. CCTV Footage of the incident shows a silver sedan driving down the street as Ms Giufre is dragged near the rear door of the vehicle. Just seconds after two people  crossed the road with their dogs, the car entered a round about where the teenager is believed to have been found. Police have described the incident as a 'cowardly and callous act' and are not treating it as an abduction attempt. Her parents, Frank and Karen Giufre, pleaded for anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward as police try to track down the driver . Mrs Giufre said last year her daughter would have to learn to walk, talk and eat again . 'Samantha was leaning in the rear passenger window… (and) subsequently fell out of the vehicle,' Liverpool Crime Manager Dean Johnston said. 'We're dealing with real victims here... This incident has left a young woman with serious injuries. 'Due to Samantha's injuries, investigators have been unable to talk to her. She will have to learn to walk, talk and eat again.' Detectives from Liverpool Local Area Command formed Strike Force O'Loughlin to investigate the incident.
