Such a powerful and moving piece May, I am so sorry you and your mother had to experience this, I cannot imagine the loss, grief and rage. I had no idea the numbers were so high but I am sadly not surprised at the governments response. I live in the New Forest now so you have made this very real and immediate for me. For all those children, thank you for sharing your voice.
