Hidden: The Heartbreaking True Story of an ‘Invisible’ Boy

There are 11.8 million children know to be living in the UK. It is thought there could be as many as 1 million other children living here who are unregistered, and therefore unknown. Some have been trafficked into the country to work in the sex industry, or as cheap labour in our sweatshops. Others have been smuggled in, or sent from third-world countries to be privately fostered in the hope of escaping abject poverty. Some will have come in on forged passports, or under visitor’s visa that have expired. Others many have been born here to parents who are not registered themselves. No one really knows the true picture, but these children live isolated and perilous. They are outside of, and unprotected by our society, and often only come to our attention, when something goes dreadfully wrong.

This is the horrendous story of one such child who came into Cathy’s care.
