A three-year-old boy who lives in a Shropshire flat plagued with damp has had a nursery attendance rate of just 20 per cent over the past month because he is constantly ill.
His attendance rate had been 33 per cent over the last year, but plummeted in the last month due to a series of medical issues, including tonsillitis, a swollen face and skin peeling off his fingers.
She said:"The mould has made by head pain a lot worse. I've only ever had the head pain in this flat; I was never really ill before but I've been ill more times in this flat than I have had in my entire life."Talking about the effect of the property on her sons, she added:"Me and my kids have suffered, my children are always sick. I'm surprised doctors haven't called social services, they spend so much of their time ill.
"I've told them it's not just mould or damp, there's something else in the flat which is making my kids ill."She also feels like"a prisoner in my own home", saying she has been threatened by the tenant in the flat below hers, and by a tenant in the block of flats opposite. One doctor's note - sent before the older boy turned three - reads:"Unfortunately the flat has mould in most rooms. I gather her younger son has already been in hospital with what was thought to be a urine infection, but does not need any further investigations currently.
The 23-year-old's mother has been helping her with her dealings with the council and housing association, and said:"They've made out it's my daughter's fault, they said you haven't helped yourself.
