I wish I had a language skill, the only bit of French I learned in Ballet School 

In a nearby village whilst I was growing up was a very rough family ….. the type that pull down the bannisters to burn  .  Their eldest child went to a private College as a weekly boarder on a Grant, but the parents wouldn't pay for books etc. and there was no where to study quietly as they rolled out children on a regular basis.  So after 18 months the child gave up the struggling and went out to work

Oh that's a shame. There's a woman in the next town who is a weird character. She's single with two kids and she nearly killed them all a few years ago because she was so drunk she fell asleep and a candle fell,over and burnt the whole (council) house down.  She was always pleading poverty and because the kids were nice little ones I gave her loads of stuff for them till I realised she always had money for fags and booze.

I saw her recently and she was saying the son who is now 14 has got a full scholarship to go to a very posh private school nearby so I hope this is the making of him now that he will be spending less time with her and all the men "friends" she has.

Where are Social Services in all this?  Hopefully the School will take the lad under their wing, I think there is more awareness these days.  He may flourish!
