Thousands of parents face putting their children in care because of a poverty epidemic sweeping Scotland, Gordon Brown has warned.
The Former Prime Minister has revealed a staggering one in ten families using a charity he supports in Fife believe they could have to hand sons and daughters to social services.
He has told of one recent case where a father left his distraught 16-year-old boy at a charity depot because he couldn’t afford to feed and clothe the teenager.
