Did you run away from home?

Teenagers in Kent who cannot or will not live at home must be properly looked after by the County Council and KCC says it needs more money to be able to do that properly.

What went wrong in your family? Where did you end up? Did your parents kick you out? Why are the teenage years such a crunch point for families? Is it drugs? Teenage pregnancies? Abuse?

We hear your stories.

Nurses, doctors, teachers, benefit workers, border and immigration staff, courts service, tax officers, police support workers are going on strike in six days time and we will see the biggest public sector strike in a generation.

The government is taking steps to try to reduce its impact today. How? Civil servants are being lined up to do some of the work carried out by border agency staff. And we are told by the PM people can take their kids to work.

With only a few days to go, will you support the strike?

We hear your views and opinions.
