Sorry don't know the name of it, but the squalor those children were living in, made me want to cry. There was a boy about 18months who they forgot to put to bed he was lying huddle in a doorway with a sheet pull round him until his brother came and put him in a bed.

There were 3 children on one very very dirty mattress with no top cover on it, just a filthy duvet over the top of them.

Only watched half way through but thought my dd and ds live in the lap of luxury in comparison.

It was pitiful and very sad.

The father was sent to jail for drink driving but only served 5 weeks of a 16 week sentence. He was battling to beat his alcoholism. He said the best moments in his life were marrying his wife and having his children (lost count of how many there were).
