In the course of the winter we had a call for 1 of our customers. She was concerned that someone had moved into her garden shed. As it was the winter she didn't go into the garden as much as inside the summer months. One weekend she decided to clear up all of the fallen apples and pears from the trees. Whilst she was available she went into the shed and she identified some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She believed this was really strange but believed that possibly her teenage son and his friends 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 occurred was a tiny fire had been created inside the entrance towards the shed and there had been more blankets and rubbish. She called the Police and they suggested she would get a quicker response if she called us.
We decided to put up a covert camera pointing at the shed to obtain towards the bottom of it. Right after a couple of days the tapes showed a filthy young man going into the shed and making a fire. He sat huddled up by the fire all night. Our client had in no way observed him ahead of and as he seemed so young she wanted to help him. The next night a social worker and our client went out into the garden to see if they could aid the young man.
He was really polite but looked exhausted. He had run away from his house and had been sleeping rough in our client’s garden and other gardens within the neighbourhood. The social worker told him she could put him into care for the night and sort out his circumstance inside the morning. He is now with foster parents and performing well at school.
