A helpless mum of eight says she is 'scared' for her children's safety as the family face eviction. Jodie Hand and Carl Ellis, 45, have lived at the property in Tuebrook for the last two years with their kids Carl, 19, Joseph, 15, Finley, 12, Leighton, 11, Matilda, five, Minnie, three, and Bonnie, two, the ECHO reports.
The couple, who recently welcomed their baby Leonard into the world four weeks ago, were first given a notice last April by their private landlord which asked them to leave their home by June 28. The devastated mother said they have always paid their rent on time and the decision was made after the landlord wanted to turn the property into a house of multiple occupancy (HMO).
Jodie, 38, told the ECHO: "We've got seven kids and a new born baby, so in total it's eight and three of the kids have got autism. We moved here because it would be a bigger property to provide more space with the kids with complex needs.
