Going back to this article somebody posted earlier,
1) Mentions family members - i.e. in the plural
2) It's stated that it's her home and not the grandmother's.
3) That implies other family members of being involved with Class A drugs as recently as a year ago, so which members?
Going back to this article somebody posted earlier,
I understand that over the last five years police and other agencies have referred Tia Sharp's family to Merton Social Services on a number of occasions.
More than once, it has been been about issues surrounding the abuse of Class A drugs by members of Tia Sharp's family and on another occasion police referred the family to social services after they were called to some kind of disturbance at her home.
On each occasion social services examined the information and a decision was made not to allocate a social worker to the family and the case was effectively closed - the last time being around a year ago.
There are two things we should stress here - firstly none of these incidents involved or related to Stuart Hazell, the man charged with murdering Tia who is the boyfriend of her grandmother.
