WHEN Chloe Riley, 14, arrived home from school to find her mother had walked out and left her to fend for herself, she set out to do just that. For a fortnight she carried on as normal, keeping up her schoolwork and telling no one that her mother, Stephanie, an IT teacher, had disappeared.
But when she returned home to find the locks changed, she had to accept that she had been abandoned. Her mother had cancelled the tenancy on the council house they had shared in the Wirral and moved in with her lover. For two months the girl had no contact with her mother, except a text message. She is now being cared for by a half sister, Lisa McLoughlin.
Merseyside Police and social workers from Wirral Council are investigating. A police spokesman said: “We received a report from Wirral social services that Chloe was abandoned by Stephanie. Officers from the family support unit have been holding joint strategic meetings with social workers. We want to talk to Mrs Riley and would appeal to anybody who knows her whereabouts — even Mrs Riley herself — to contact the family support unit.”
Chloe’s father, Robbie Riley, a well-known boxer on Merseyside, died in December, 2002, after a long illness. Friends and well-wishers raised thousands of pounds to meet the family’s expenses, pay for a headstone and Chloe’s travel costs from her home in Birkenhead to St Mary’s College, in Wallasey.
Relatives described how Mrs Riley, 39, changed after the death of her husband. She remodelled herself, with a new hair colour and slimmer figure, and is now said to be living with her 29-year-old lover in Haydock.
Social services staff said that Mrs Riley disappeared in early October. Chloe continued travelling to St Mary’s College, kept up with her homework and housework, but told no one, all the time hoping that her mother would return. When council workmen changed the locks, thinking the house was empty, Chloe tried to telephone her mother but the number had been changed.
Chloe was finally forced to accept her predicament and seek refuge with her half sister. Ms McLoughlin, 29, a care home worker, took her in with the few clothes and possessions she could salvage.
“Chloe has been distraught,” Ms McLoughlin said. “She thought her mum would come back and she didn’t want to bother me.
“Chloe had lost a lot of weight but she is with me now. She is happier and eating well, and doing her homework every night. I suppose that is all that matters. But I am not her mother and it must hurt.
“Every night I hear her crying for mum and dad. What child deserves that?” Ms McLoughlin said: “Chloe lost our dad. Then her mother ran off, and now we both feel abandoned by social services. I am a single parent with two kids under seven. I work three days a week because that is all the childcare I can afford.
“We only have each other and I would do anything for Chloe, but it is a struggle because I have got nothing to give her, except love.”
No, no, you've got it all wrong. See, if the mother had had an abortion, she wouldn't have had to abandon her unwanted child.
(MAJOR saracasm alert, by the way)
Apart from this story, I agree. In this country, a 14 yr old cannot obtain above table employment. Unless you work for family, it is illegal. It is now illegal to drop out of school. Parents can be severely punished. I know of one family that is facing the prospect of losing their wayward girl to a group home for ditching school. She is 16. Okay, she shouldn't have ditched, but this is ridiculous.
I found out after my dad died, that he dropped out of school after 8th grade to help support the family. Of course education was much different back then (way back then-he'd be 95 if he were still alive), so he was very well educated. He took correspondence courses on everything, and did all the home repairs himself.
Btw, he drove himself and his mother from MA to CA when he was 12.
Choice no longer is an option. You will obey.
Disgusting behavior, I agree. But at least the mom did not physically harm her as that lady that drowned hers when she wanted to have a new lover.
Ah yes. I see you are a student of "Feminism."
And...
You don't know the full story, but I do, so take my word for it if you don't mind and before you talk more about bad parenting,
Troll Does Christmas ping.
I'm Speechless
I am woman, hear me roar...feminist lies are too big to ignore
Sheesh. I lost my mum when I was 32 and that was bad enough. God help this young lady, this little girl.

I think you are bitter because you live
in a country full of stupid, obese, gun toting
halfwits...
Change your name, because it's a bit of a misnomer
don't you think? <<<
Apparently you have realized that you "hath but a short time". What's the matter, couldn't find a deceased person to "know" on your first day? Where's your Christmas cheer? Did you eat the coal in your stocking? Or is TROP the norm in your peace-loving country?
Just when I think I read of further low despicable acts I have to read this. What in God's name is going on when a Mother abandons her child like this?
Poor kid, I reckon she is better off in the long run from such a terrible Mother. mark my word the Mother, a piece of refuse, will come crawling back one day and I hope this girl has the correct response.
Gee, the troll was zotted already. That wasn't even enough time to smack it around a bit. :-(
Yeah, you think the mods would let us bat him around at least on Christmas day.
Wow. That was a fast ZOT!!!Bye, Billy-yick!
He's dead, Jim!
Our streets are full of abandoned young teens. Momma finds a new beau who doesnt want the teen around. Or Momma doesnt want compititon. The kids live in the streets until they are picked up. The city near where I live sets groups of them up in apartments with SW oversight.
And Merry Christmas .....
That may have been true long ago, but children in this day and age are not raised to be self-sufficient at such a young age.
I was fully self sufficient at 15. I think the country would improve if a few more were introduced to the concept at 12 to 15.
