Protecting your 8 year old autistic brother when your council evicts your family
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We return to our Hackney eviction story - where Hackney council tried last week to evict an 8 year old autistic and disabled boy and his family from their council home.
Bailiffs turned up to evict the family on Tuesday. Fortunately, the London Renters' Union, other supporters and neighbours saw the bailiffs off. Was a good day in that sense, but the council says it'll be back.
In this episode, we hear from the boy's 18 year old sister. She lives with her mother, Kyla, and her disabled brother.
She's a student and a carer for her brother. She dresses him, makes his food, and takes him out for walks and to the park.
She talks about her brother, her mother and the council's pursuit of them.
Councils should not be making disabled children homeless.
