During 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. One weekend she decided to clear up all the fallen apples and pears from the trees. Whilst she was out there she went into the shed and she identified some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She thought this was really strange but believed that maybe her teenage son and his friends had had a sleepover within 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 thing that occurred was a tiny fire had been made inside the entrance to the shed and there had been a lot 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 get towards the bottom of it. Soon after a couple of days the tapes showed a filthy young man going into the shed and generating a fire. He sat huddled up by the fire all night. Our client had by no means seen 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 very polite but looked exhausted. He had run away from his property and had been sleeping rough in our client’s garden along with other gardens within the neighbourhood. The social worker told him she could put him into care for the night and sort out his situation in the morning. He is now with foster parents and doing well at school.
