who's taking care of shannon matthews

[evedawn]

I presume her and her siblings are now in care? does anyone know if they've been kept together? Are they with family members? Are they in seperate foster homes?

I believe the other children were taken into care,whether they were kept together is something I don't know.I suppose it would depend on the number of placements available in any one place (foster home or residential children's home).
I was one of 7 siblings brought up in care and we were rarely together,in fact it only happened in one home that they could take us all at once.

We were watching the news earlier and had all of the same questions which were not addressed in the report. It beggars belief what that woman did to her daughter - I can't bring myself to call her a 'mum' :(

i was wondering this,

also she is old enough to understand everything that her mum has done, the poor child must feel terrible!! how do you get over something like that :o(

What an oddball family ..the boyfriend looked
as if he had problems ...and he did ...
I hope she has a real bad time in prison ..
how do you do that to a child for money ??
Shannon is probably in a lovely foster home
hopefully with her siblings and being looked
after ..hate to think what the family home was
like ...
