Mother turns life around after children taken into care

More support is needed for young care leavers when they become parents to prevent their children from being taken into care, the Children's Commissioner for Wales says.

Research by Cardiff University showed a high proportion of children being placed for adoption after one year in Wales had at least one parent who was a care leaver.

One mother, who wanted to remain anonymous, explained how she turned her life around after losing five children.

"I couldn't emotionally handle losing another one," she told BBC Wales.

She said being at home with her baby is the "best thing that has ever happened."
