In the course of the winter we had a call for one of our clients. She was concerned that a person had moved into her garden shed. As it was the winter she did not go into the garden as significantly as in the summer months. One weekend she decided to clear up all of the fallen apples and pears from the trees. While she was on the market she went into the shed and she located some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She thought this was quite strange but believed that possibly her teenage son and his friends 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 subsequent factor that happened was a tiny fire had been produced within the entrance to the shed and there were a lot more blankets and rubbish. She known as the Police and they suggested she would get a quicker response if she named us.
We decided to put up a covert camera pointing at the shed to get to the bottom of it. After a couple of days the tapes showed a filthy young man going into the shed and producing a fire. He sat huddled up by the fire all night. Our client had never seen him ahead of 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 quite 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 situation in the morning. He is now with foster parents and doing nicely at school.
