- Hartley,

- carer
- for
- over
- 20
- years.When
- police
- are
- called
- to
- a
- local
- supermarket
- late
- one
- evening,
- they
- find
- an
- angry
- shopkeeper
- and
- a
- silent
- young
- woman.
- It's
- the
- third
- time
- 24-year-old
- Zoe
- has
- been
- caught
- stealing
- in
- the
- past
- few
- days.
- Eyes
- filled
- with
- panic,
- Zoe
- has
- been
- hiding
- bread,
- milk,
- Calpol
- and
- nappies
- under
- her
- coat.
- As
- police
- officers
- break
- down
- the
- door
- of
- Zoe's
- flat
- they
- find
- seven-year-old
- Coco
- and
- two-year-old
- Lola,
- home

- on
- the
- floor
- in
- a
- freezing
- cold
- bedroom,
- crying
- out
- for
- their
- mummy.When
- Social
- Services
- are
- called
- in,
- the
- girls
- are
- taken
- into
- care
- and
- are
- soon
- tucked
- up
- safely
- in
- bed
- at
- Maggie's
- house.
- It
- looks
- like
- a
- simple
- case
- of
- neglect,
- but
- things
- aren't
- always
- what
- they
- seem
- and,
- with
- Maggie's
- help,
- can
- Zoe
- convince
- Social
- Services
- that
- love
- is
- enough
- to
- be
- a
- good
- mum?Readers
