"wake up a devil in the dark" again, and then to the angelic

A presentation in York, with represtantives from all round the North East and Yorkshire about how to progress the report, presnted in outline, about the awful fate of 10 asylum seekers, and 9 children, deported to DRC over the past few years.
I've delayed writing this blog, trying to think of how I coud express the terrible facts that are coming out now information is being gathered and brought together, and veriefied.  I still cannot, it is so terrible, so I will just repeat some words on the front page of the report, of what happened on their return to a supposedly safe country where they are expected to be able to integrate into life there, after fleeing for their life to this country, and then being removed.
Serious concerns; very grave pattern; ill treatment; inhumane and degrading treatment on return; desperately poor living conditions; fear of leaving homes; fear of reprisals; unable to support themsleves and family; outcasts.
It is going to take a lot of money and work to be able to draw up the conclusions into a format that courts will accept as being the situation.

It was then quick change to happy families, and going to our family with a lovcly warm welcome, fun, games, and a nice meal.  I am thankful to have that in my life.  Here is my grandson, Jack with the hockey award that is being shared with his team.
