Re: Victims of LAC

Today, I found out something very heart breaking.
Turns out B and his brother was very badly neglected by their original parents when they were really young and were starved to the point they had to eat food out of a dog bowl. This caused them to be unable to speak when they found them.

This made me feel really bad about... well, everything.
I was literally speechless when I realised that, people, especially children still gets treated like that somewhere in the town you live in. And some still yet to be discovered.

After going to LAC (Looked After Children project) for a while, I forgot why the children were really there. They were there because they went through really difficult times earlier in their childhood and I guess we must be reminded that once in a while to not mistake them as ordinary kids. Because, that is what they look like, on the outside, but they have gone through so much more than you and I...

If there was a chance, I'd like to see those kids again and do something for them. As coming to LAC and just smiling, could mean the world to them. If you go to QM, I'd thoroughly advise you to join the LAC project sometime during your time in the school to meet those kids and to make a difference to their lives.
