A report by The Independent, a UK-based newspaper, indicated that a 40-year-old mother from Trinidad (who asked to be kept anonymous) has told her 18-year-old son, who got into a football academy, has become depressed, isolated, and malnourished after spending two years in limbo in a Home Office hotel.
The 18-year-old is said to have given up football and college and retreated from everyday life after struggling to sustain himself due to his poor diet.
His mother said they are living on bread, cheese, and milk because the quality of food at the migrant hotel is so bad that it makes her son vomit after every meal.
The Independent has previously reported on cases of children experiencing malnutrition and stunted growth in asylum hotels.
