She looked so angry that he felt scared. But he also wanted to tell the man to go away, so he stayed outside the door listening, in case he was needed.

‘If you lock a young boy in a place like this, and this is all he knows for twelve years, then what do you expect?’

‘We’re not a charity. He’s eighteen now.’ The man in the suit said, with no emotion.

‘So you want to just kick him out onto the street?’

Cyril’s blood ran cold. Tears stung at his eyes and he slithered down the wall to sit on the floor.

‘It isn’t quite like that,’ the man said, not sounding quite so cross now.

‘He is put into a children’s home with no one-on-one support, having suffered the trauma of his mother’s suicide when he was five. He doesn’t get on in the children’s home because of this trauma so they focus on his shortcomings and label them mental disorders so they can dump him in here. He stays here for twelve years surrounded by people who are not functioning well out in the real world and these are his peers, these are the people he learns to interact with as he grows, and then aged eighteen you want to kick him out into the real world!’

Matron Jan sounded really angry now, and the man must have thought so too, because he didn’t answer that.

‘Look, he needs sleep medication, he is still having sessions with the psychologist every week, he comes in and sits and talks to me every day. He’s just not ready for the outside world. He’s had very little exposure to it. He’s just not ready.’ She stopped shouting then, her voice calm, explanatory. ‘We can start a programme, he can go out with a nurse, to the shops in the towns, a visit to the cinema, that sort of thing, but it has to be done gradually. If we overexpose him it could well push him back. It certainly won’t help him to move forward.’
