Saving Danny

 

It’s a dark cold winter’s evening when Cathy is asked to help search for little Danny. The social worker went to Danny’s school that afternoon to tell him he was going into care and he’d run away screaming and couldn’t be found.

Eventually Danny is found, safe but very scared. He clings desperately to Cathy as she carries him to her car to take him home. So begins the true story of little Danny whose mother couldn’t cope with her son’s autistic behaviour and whose father has rejected him for being different.
