A badly neglected "invisible" boy started school at seven still in nappies and couldn't drink from a cup, a damning report shows.
Education and social workers have been criticised after the boy began lessons two years late, with the report illustrating how the Covid lockdown helped his parents escape scrutiny over absences.
When the boy - known only as Child Y - began school at the age of seven, his personal development had been so badly affected that he was still wearing nappies, couldn't drink from a cup or use cutlery.
