The couple didn't seem to have much difficulty finding their cigarettes and beer cans.

Social Services jumped in and took well cared for children from their homes when ridiculous allegations of Satanic rites were made, some years ago, but they leave little ones in a home like that. It defies common sense.
Completely agree WestEnder, I started watching the programme but had to switch off before it was half way through, the way those poor kids were having to cope with everything and the way they just accepted that thats what they had to do was very upsetting to watch.
