I am just thinking of all the community work that has been done. The kids are escaping, as such, but then they are going back and the question is whether that sets them back. They are feeling so happy in one environment and then they are going back to the unhappy environment. Should there be a focus on family support services for when young people age out at 18? I know of a service in Tallaght where there is no such thing as ageing out. The service provides counselling services and therapy, which is fantastic because there is not much difference between kids of 18 and kids of 17 and 16. With families, a lot of mams and dads need to support their kids. Should more funding be put into that side of things so they are not cut off at age 18?
