Mandy told them: “One day he walked away and never came back, two days after Vinny started school. I was no-one, just this random woman that his dad had shacked up with. I had to make a choice – do I become the mum he never had or do I put him into care. The easiest call I’ve ever had to make.”

Vinny started to defend Mandy for her decision: “I spent so many years lying, waiting for a knock on the door from the social because people won’t accept she’s my real mum.

“You have no idea of the things she’s done for me. The times she starved so I could eat. We had nothing.”
