Anthony came to the attention of Social Services soon after he was born. His mother suffered from addiction and his father had left home. He was forced to fend for himself and much of his childhood was spent in residential care. For many, a residential home provides much needed stability and care and a vital opportunity to experience a settled childhood. But File on 4 discovers some homes are failing to give young people the second chance they need. New research suggests concerning levels of police involvement in the lives of care home residents. Anthony was given a criminal record when he set off a fire alarm and says that his job opportunities have been limited ever since.
