There are over 60,000 children being ‘looked after’ by the state in the UK.

One third of the homeless in this country were raised in care.

Sixty per cent of young offenders in this country have been through the care system.

Dear Mum,

I can’t believe you did this to us. You always said that no matter how bad it got we’d have each other.

You said we’d always be together.

We did everything we had to.

I even kept my mouth shut when I knew I shouldn’t.

And what was it all for? You’ve thrown us away like rubbish so that’s how they treat us. We’ve been split up and I’m not even allowed to see the babies.

I can’t tell you how much I hate you for what you’ve done, and if I ever see you again I’ll cut you to pieces.
