Kohima,
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say but I'll answer as best I can.
I was on the "at risk" register due to my family circumstances for most of my childhood until I reached adulthood.
My family combined criminality violence and severe mental illness.
This was in a time and place when such extremes were perhaps less prevalent and so I consider myself very fortunate to have been supported and protected.
As an adult, finding myself both personally and professionally in a world where others were not as fortunate as myself, I could, and can, see the stark difference.
And yes, Kohima, again, in my experience, someone does know something, whether they can or do attempt to do something is another matter.
Dealing with some of the most difficult areas of social care requires a complex set of interventions if there is to be any hope of a positive outcome.
I suppose some of us will think it's worth it, others will not.
