Social Services have a duty to HOMELESS 16 & 17 YEAR OLDS.


You fit that description, therefore they have a duty towards you whether you want that to be true or not. I'm not sure why you asked for advice as you don't seem to want to hear any.

I'm not sure any of this is real. As well as the contradictory posts on here there are other links to a Sophie who goes by the username homeisthecalm, who also claims to be moving in the near future, they already have children and they're certainly not 17.

Perhaps all part of their mental health episode? I don't know, but it's very odd.

Alice Walker, what links are there to suggest I am moving in the near future and certainly not 17?


I was moving council properties with my ex partner until recently, and I asked about grocery shopping. I don't ever remember commenting any other age, as I would not have

I'm not posting links to pictures of your family, but you should be aware of how easily traceable you are online. Given that you are vulnerable you really should review your privacy settings.

The pictures in question show school age children, that would mean you were pregnant when you were (at most) 12. Added to that all the contradictions in your story here, you must understand why people are cynical.

You've still not clarified why you are claiming benefits as a single person when you live with your partner. Or why you earlier talked about living with your parents.

You're now saying that you were moving council properties, yet at the beginning of the thread you said your partner owned the property. Which is it?

You need to get your story straight. I genuinely hope you get the help that you need.

Hmmm...yes, it really doesn't all add up, does it?


And having now read another thread by the OP, it seems she is aware that she is incapable of independent living.


I do hope she gets whatever help she needs.

We are not talking about contradictory posts on MSE (though there are those too). If you google your username plus your first name (which you've used to sign off posts on here) you immediately find a match for that on another site with photos of young children, dogs, references to moving house next week ("exciting" but "stressful") and so on.

Maybe it's coincidence that there's someone with the same first name as you and the same username on another site, but you can see how it would make people doubt your story.

I don't doubt that you're in trouble of some kind, I really don't. But please give people the facts so that they can give you proper advice that will actually help.

I just googled- you really need to up your security settings on social media if you are using the same username.

So no 17 year old, jobless and homeless woman can change their life for the better for their child???

I was once acquainted with a young person in this situation (left home and went off with a blighter) - luckily her parents supported her when she "came home by Weeping Cross" as the saying goes.

A quarter of a century on she is a company director and the "infant" is forging a very successful career in finance....

Hi,

The forms often ask about social services involvement either because they need to liaise with a social worker if you have one (because agencies should all work together for people to have the best outcomes). Or if it is refferenxe to a job, some jobs require this information so they can check what the involvement was for.

It is nothing at all to worry about. And I dare say having someone from social services involved would be a really good thing for you right now. They could help with all these issues and get you settled in a place of your own.

Reading the responses to this ‘Story’, on multiple threads - It’s amazing to see how many people think that everyone who can’t look after themselves is automatically the responsibility of the state, to house and feed.

This is the issue in this country, too many people thinking that they have the god given right to rely on the ‘Social Safety Net’ when they are just irresponsible.

Getting pregnant at the age of 17, with NO job, NO Home, NO means to look after the child. That is irresponsible to say the least.

Criticise me all you want but some people just need to grow up and smell the coffee.

Having a child is a BIG responsibility and should not be taken likely, and definitely should not be undertaken by those who are ‘CHILDREN’ themselves.

People like this young girl, who by her own account (on multiple threads) has real issues and in reality has no real hope of looking after this kid should not be having children.

You hear so many people on benefits calling the weekly benefit allowance a ‘WAGE’. It is NOT a wage, a wage is something you have worked for not a HANDOUT by the government.

Is it any wonder we have no social housing left in this country, when everyone thinks their way to an easy life is to have kids and so they can get a house and claim benefits.

The social system is at breaking point and you see it everywhere, (Granted immigration has not helped) or broken depending on who you ask.

I understand you're going through some stuff, but why you got pregnant is anyones guess.

Yes, it may have been because the pill failed but so unlikely, it's not worth thinking about. But even if the condom split, the guy can feel it and knows it has happened.

Just a shame. That is all I think. Such a shame.
