During the winter we had a call for one of our clients. She was concerned that someone had moved into her garden shed. As it was the winter she did not go into the garden as a lot as in the summer months. One weekend she decided to clear up all of the fallen apples and pears from the trees. Even though she was available she went into the shed and she found some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She thought this was fairly strange but thought that maybe her teenage son and his pals had had a sleepover within the shed.
She quizzed her son and he stated that they wouldn’t sleep in there as the roof leaked and there was no electricity. The next thing that happened was a little fire had been produced in the entrance towards the shed and there had been far more blankets and rubbish. She referred to as 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 get towards the bottom of it. After 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 by no means seen him just 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 fairly polite but looked exhausted. He had run away from his home and had been sleeping rough in our client’s garden along with other gardens within the neighbourhood. The social worker told him she could put him into care for the night and sort out his scenario in the morning. He is now with foster parents and doing nicely at school.
