Diego's Story : Thrown Away Children (Thrown Away Children‪)‬

Diego's Story is the thirteenth instalment in the popular Thrown Away Children series.

Diego and his siblings live in desperate poverty, but nobody seems to notice or care as they come close to starving, scouring food banks to survive. But he’s wrong – someone has noticed him. County Lines gang members can see his vulnerability. With an absent father, alcoholic mother and dependent young siblings, Diego is the perfect mark.

Entrapped, used, abused and witness to terrible crimes, young Diego escapes a murder scene and runs.

Experienced foster carer Louise Allen steps in when 14-year-old Diego is placed with her. Can she help him overcome his disturbing past and finally feel safe again? And what will happen if the County Lines gang finds him – with Louise and her family?
