Aged 15, Jade was moved to a children’s home. Instead of finding her somewhere nearby in London, Jade’s local authority placed her in Lancashire, 250 miles away from everyone she knew. What was initially meant to be a two-week placement lasted two years, she told ITV.
After a difficult childhood, Chereece was relocated eight times in a single year, living out of a bin bag across the North of England and Wales. She told Channel 4 the experience made her feel “like an animal – like a piece of rubbish”.
