Homeless children are developing eating disorders because they are fed so much pureed food in hotels, it is claimed.
Una Burns, head of policy and communications at homeless support organisation Novas, said: “In hotels, families have no access to cooking, refrigeration or storage facilities, so they cannot cook or prepare lunches, and that’s really debilitating, and, it is de-skilling parents and knocking their confidence.
Ms Burns also revealed that as there is little space to move around in this type of accommodation, “children are finding it difficult to learn to crawl and learn to walk”.Children, she offered, are also experiencing “emotional challenges” borne out by “having the insecurity and anxiety of not knowing where they are going to sleep from night to night.”
Well why dont there useless parents get a job besides sponging
