At the healthcare facility, she wrote: 'One of the nurses can be found in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as quickly as he left the space, the authorities were awaiting him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.

'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive the people responsible, although we have actually striven to forget it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their examination, she stated, the household needed to live in lodging where other accountable grownups existed.
She added: 'This was including insult to serious injury and bearing in mind my gradual decrease in health typically, I was actually beginning to despair.'
