Sample text
There are four older half-brothers and sisters but they were removed from home years ago. The eldest, Sharon, is eighteen now. Reece has witnessed a high level of violence in the family home, and goodness-knows what else. His father, Scott, has served time in prison for assault, among other things. While he was inside he made some pretty undesirable friends who have become regular visitors to the house, including at least one paedophile. ‘I see,’ I said slowly, not liking what I was hearing. ‘When I was on the case I found a very poor level of hygiene in the house,’ Karen continued.
Perhaps it was because of all the moves. Reece’s social worker is Jamey Hogg but he is on extended leave until the end of February. I’ll give the team manager a ring and see if anyone can tell you more. ’ ‘You’re welcome. ’ As we said goodbye I thought the same as Jill would be thinking, that Reece was going to have to settle with me because one thing was for certain: he couldn’t have another change of carer. I would have to make sure he settled, for without a stable home life there was no hope of getting his behaviour back on track.
Of course,’ she said. I quickly propped the door open so that she could get in and out, and then I went upstairs. I found Reece in my bedroom, bouncing up and down on the bed for all he was worth. The springs bonged unhappily. ’ I said. He continued bouncing, turning away so that his back was towards me. ‘Reece! ’ He ignored me, so I moved forward. I leant over the bed and, taking hold of him round the waist, I drew him down on to the bed and into a sitting position. I sat behind him and encircled him with my arms, with him facing away from me.
