it started with a blog....

It started innocently enough with a blog.

Then management discovered Yahoo questions and she is now spending her evenings sorting out others lives.

At least of course she has her two day forestry course for respite and relaxation.

And she spent yesterday discussing trees and errrh well talking with a 17 yo foster child who is on the course with her.

He had never thought how when his mum moved a known paedophile in with them that he showed a lot of courage and strength to protect his sister.

He had not thought how he was the child and that all those adults who knew about this man owed them a duty of care and should have done something about their situation.

He spent last Xmas, at 16 in a B&B, with no presents no phone calls, no anything, he was scared he might mess up again and have to do so again this year.

They call them "looked after children", how well was he looked after??

Management is guarding what she does for a living like her own personal secret on that course.

Of course one of the young people is someone we used to do sessional work with some years ago and knows exactly what we do.

She has sworn him to silence...
