In terms of this school thing......they went to the same school as well but I'm going for the eldest first cos he was the one I got custody of! And I was much closer to him than the others.

And anyway, the three of them won't have changed their names. The last time I got a lead to the younger two was about 15 years ago and that came from court hearing dates. This isn't a case of searching for people who've put down roots, started a family. They've seemed to roam around the UK with the younger two usually together. Previous times I've found them when I was in the UK led me to squats and crack houses.......this is the type of lifestyle we're trying to find information about.

When you're bumming round and existing off the Social you're not going abroad. But one interesting thing I found was that the people who went to school with him (all mid 40's now) have all led settled, normal, stable lives and have their own families now. None of them went on a path of self destruction like he did. So it wasn't his peer group leading him astray.........I made sure he got into the best school in Swansea to give him the best opportunities. And I got the other two into the same school (cos they had a brother there) and they screwed it all up as well. But that's down to their mother fucking their heads up. She joined Facebook 10 years ago to try and find them as well. Even mentioned me in case I knew! Which was pretty ironic because she's spent most of her life making sure I never had any contact with the younger two. I only came across the post a couple of years later by accident. She didn't look too good in the pic so her search could have been because her time was running out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
