'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we've made every effort to ignore it, and them, as quickly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their investigation, she said, the family had to live in accommodation where other accountable adults existed.
She added: 'This was adding insult to major injury and bearing in mind my steady decrease in health usually, I was actually beginning to despair.'
