Plague 49

So another glorious morning at the little prison camp on the fen , im up and have been for the morning cat stroll only 3 today so im low on cats this week though im turning into the hedgehog whisperer as well as young Frank or Franketter came for the evening stroll last night , hes reached the realms of sitting up and begging for cat kibble , he chases the cats round the garden and hes not averse to a Lidl cat stick treat , cant get any good pics of him as he turns up at dusk and stays for around an hour .
On the Young Baldrick front we are stuck with him for the whole 28 days and its proving hard work , though hes improving with some sort of sleep regime imposed , midnight curfew for all electronics or his dad will stamp on his phone seems to have sunk in . Between that and the sunburn from not listening when told you need sunscreen in daylight hes a bit crispy at the moment , being so white from never going outside isnt helping him , they have a huge garden thats like an overgrown wasteland .  ffs go out and cut the bloody grass when you get home . Losing himself for hours and days in violent games isnt doing him any good . The arguments weve had over that , im sure his xbox means more to him than his kid . Im coming to the conclusion that he and his partner are a car crash waiting to happen , shes hooked on heavy duty pain medication due to her disability and spends a lot of time asleep , hes constantly on his xbox her teenage kids seem to be looking after the baby most of the time .
I really dont see how this can be made to work , resources are scarce , lockdown has made their problems 10 times worse because they have had minimal monitoring , he doesnt answer the door hes cut all the family off . I can see this turning to headlines in the Sun with a lessons learned speech from Social Services and the other agencies involved .  He just needs inpatient psychiatric care and assessment , hes needed it for how many years now and hes got nothing ,hes just a bomb waiting to go off .
