Throughout the winter we had a call for 1 of our clients. She was concerned that an individual had moved into her garden shed. As it was the winter she didn't go into the garden as significantly as within the summer months. One weekend she decided to clear up all the fallen apples and pears from the trees. Whilst she was out there she went into the shed and she discovered some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She believed this was very strange but thought that perhaps her teenage son and his buddies had had a sleepover inside the shed.
She quizzed her son and he said that they wouldn’t sleep in there as the roof leaked and there was no electricity. The subsequent factor that happened was a tiny fire had been produced inside the entrance towards the shed and there were more blankets and rubbish. She named the Police and they suggested she would get a quicker response if she known as us.
We decided to put up a covert camera pointing at the shed to obtain towards the bottom of it. Following a couple of days the tapes showed a filthy young man going into the shed and creating a fire. He sat huddled up by the fire all night. Our client had never seen him before and as he seemed so young she wanted to assist him. The subsequent night a social worker and our client went out into the garden to see if they could support the young man.
He was very polite but looked exhausted. He had run away from his house and had been sleeping rough in our client’s garden along with other gardens inside the neighbourhood. The social worker told him she could put him into care for the night and sort out his circumstance within the morning. He is now with foster parents and doing properly at school.
