We reconnected when he was 18 and we were ok but he often commented about his time in care and how bad it was for him and blamed me," she said."I'm shocked and upset by what he did.

It was bad enough anyone could do this but the fact it was my own son makes it much worse. It was totally unprovoked and over the top and there's no excuse for what he did - I think he needs help for his anger and aggression."I want nothing more to do with him.
