For the duration of the winter we had a call for one of our customers. She was concerned that someone 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. 1 weekend she decided to clear up all the fallen apples and pears from the trees. Even though she was out there she went into the shed and she found some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She thought this was fairly strange but believed that perhaps her teenage son and his pals 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 thing that occurred was a tiny fire had been produced in the entrance to the shed and there had been much 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 in the shed to get to the bottom of it. Following a couple of days the tapes showed a filthy young man going into the shed and creating a fire. He sat huddled up by the fire all night. Our client had never ever noticed him before and as he seemed so young she wanted to help him. The subsequent night a social worker and our client went out into the garden to see if they could aid the young man.
He was fairly polite but looked exhausted. He had run away from his house and had been sleeping rough in our client’s garden as well as other gardens in the neighbourhood. The social worker told him she could put him into care for the night and sort out his situation inside the morning. He is now with foster parents and doing well at school.
