What it's like to grow up in care - needing sleepover risk assessment and being labelled naughty

All Bayley wanted was to be treated as a normal teenager, to be able to go to a sleepover without a risk assessment being done or the police informed.

Havana thinks it’s unfair that adults automatically label all care kids as naughty when most of them, like her, had to leave their homes because of something an adult did wrong.

Byron wants people to know that not all children who were taken into care become bad parents themselves, that many, like him, are determined to raise their own children so they will never feel lonely or unloved.
