Carers kept a mother's disabled son locked up for a year to avoid Covid

Carers kept a mother's disabled son locked up for a year to avoid Covid For almost a year now, Anne Shepherd has been barred from seeing her son Sam, who lives in a care home. It has been agony for both of them – a scenario familiar to thousands of families who've suffered in similar ways throughout the pandemic.

Sam, 42, who has severe learning disabilities, is confined to a handful of rooms, where he has taken to biting his hand, shouting and banging doors and furniture, unable to otherwise express his despair. The Daily Mail
