Evening all, I run a couple of junior football teams and one of my U14s players dad has terminal brain cancer - hes got days left. His mum is an alcoholic / drug user. Mum and dad are separated but before his decline the dad was the main carer. The lad is back with mum and is going hungry, missing school, not to mention the emotional upheaval he must be going through. No other obvious family have been visible / at matches etc since the lad started in the team back when they were U6s.
Its heartbreaking, the lad is such a brilliant character, smart, funny.... do I contact social services? If so who do I contact. Am I just sticking my nose into there lives? I live in west Lancashire.
Many thanks for reading and any advice is gratefully received.
