Imagine a new understanding

Who was the Carer?

Three-year-old ‘was an alcoholic’
(UKPA) –
A three-year-old child has been treated for alcoholism by staff at an NHS hospital.

The unnamed child, thought to be Britain’s youngest alcoholic, was among 13 youngsters aged 12 and under who were diagnosed as alcoholics by the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust between 2008 and 2010.

Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act also showed that the trust admitted more than 70 children aged 13-16 for emergency treatment for alcohol abuse.
