I hope much of the developmental damage inflicted on this poor girl by her mother can be reversed and that she'll flourish having been rescued from such horrific neglect. One wonders whether the cleft palate's presence motivated the mother to such extreme behaviour. I wish the child all the best 🙏 🤗

A common pattern is that she looks for a fight, especially on a Sunday, before the school week starts again. We’ve had shouting and self-harm threats already today. Walking on eggshells is hard for us all, we don’t want to be scared of her

I’m at work today. Post-covid hybrid working means I only have to be here 2 days a week, and wife is part-time, so is home on those 2 days. Sad to say that being away from home and at work is almost a relief for us both. Waiting for news on whether AD makes it to school today 🤞🏻#KidsMH #SchoolRefusal

She’s done it! A crazy routine of getting up at 5am, breakfast at 6 and in the school car park before 8. She’s only going to stay until 10, but just getting ready and crossing the threshold means that today is a win! #kidsMH #schoolrefusal

Last week, I dropped in on an event hosted by the Disabled Children’s Partnership in Parliament. It's so important we keep pushing for better support and equality in education. I’ll keep working for an inclusive education system and greater transparency from local authorities.

Parcel theft from doorsteps has significantly increased. Especially in London so why are delivery companies leaving the parcels on the doorsteps and not taking them to a collection point or reattempting delivery when the person is home? #ParcelTheft #Parcels #Deliveries
