They weren’t being fed. Jackson would sneak biscuits during the night to feed his brother
David, Action for Children Service Team Leader
Jackson and his brother were brought into care by the police when they were just six. They were living in miserable conditions and experiencing extreme neglect. Their parents didn’t provide food for them.
“It’s heartbreaking to think there are thousands of boys and girls throughout the UK in need of help and support. That’s why we need organisations like Action for Children who can give children a safe and happy childhood.”
David, Action for Children Service Team Leader
Your help could protect a child like Jackson.
Jackson is now in a safe and loving home. He no longer has to look after his brother and can just be a child. We know there are many more children who are suffering but we can only reach them with your help.
Neglect is one of the most harmful threats to children’s wellbeing. Our frontline teams step in to support the most vulnerable children. With your help, a child facing neglect could be given warmth, security and the chance to feel cared for.
*We have changed Jackson’s name and used an actor for his protection.
