I see some kids from a local childrens home about my area a lot. They seem like lovely teens, although quite mouthy....like all kids their age from this area.
Last night i saw them quite late and i said to them it's too late for them to be out, it was 1am and i was on my way home from a club. They said they hated going back to the children's home as the staff there were really bad. I begin a social work degree programme in September this year and i was interested in what they were saying as i'd not heard of it at that home before.
They said that the staff use uneccessary force when restraining them, and apparently they get restrained for really little reasons such as using bad language. The 2 girls said that one guy in particular was very aggressive with them weighing in at like 16 stone and using all his weight to restrain them. I was really worried about this as one of the girls, a 14 year old, is of doll size proportions.
