Could this unexpected connection bring light back into his life, or will his unique affliction forever bind him to a world of solitude? Updates will be on Mondays and Fridays.

Her sharp observations, Jordyn's keen eye, and Marcus's restless energy draw them all into a web of intrigue-suspicion doesn't spare anyone. Every sleek hallway, every modern smart-home glitch, and every whispered secret brings them closer to the truth...if they can survive long enough to uncover it. ⸻ ©️ _RelleLebby_

This is a deeply personal and distressing story. A child was unjustly taken into care at the tender age of 14 due to the actions of Leeds social worker, Samantha Gibson. Ms. Gibson presented false information to the court, claiming that this child had a squint - an assertion that was proven untrue by Boots Opticians. Despite this revelation, instead of returning the child to their mother's care, Ms. Gibson went further down a deceitful path by obtaining a forged eye prescription from Specsavers to secure a full care order. For over three years now, this innocent child has been separated from their family based on fraudulent claims made by Samantha Gibson. This child has also been treated very very badly and has been falsely imprisoned since she was taken as she has been kept under lock and key for more than 2 years. It is time for Social Work England to step in and thoroughly investigate these serious allegations against Samantha Gibson. We cannot allow such gross misconduct within the social services system to go unnoticed or unpunished; it causes irreparable harm to those they are meant to support - our children. We urge you all - concerned citizens, parents, advocates for justice - sign this petition demanding that Social Work England investigate Samantha Gibson's actions immediately so that no more families suffer due to such unscrupulous behaviour. The victim was helpless. Blackmailed with police constantly, falsely imprisoned, even had possessions stolen, constantly intimidated, threatened and abused by the foster carer's household and suffered loneliness and isolation. Constantly cried out wanting to go back to her mother, no one listened. This is non fiction as this is a real story which is still ongoing in real life. This is the victim's report about everything that she suffered in Marina's home. This was before the revelation that the care order was actually false and obtained by lies and fraud.
