Freddie was reunited with his father, stepmother, brothers and sisters at his home a few weeks ago by Ex-Street and Save the Children. Freddie, “My mother is an alcoholic, so in 2004 my mother and father separated and my father remarried. My father is a mechanic so he is often called to work far. I used to stay with my stepmother and brothers and sisters, but I ran away to the streets in the beginning of this year. I don’t really know why I ran away, my parents had never done anything bad to me. Now I just want to go back and go back to school.” * Freddie's name has been changed to protect his identity.<\/p>","url":"2008/9/29/Ross-Kemp-Meets-The-Glue-Kids-Of-Kenya-3.jpg","width":570,"height":364,"alt":"Ross Kemp Meets The Glue Kids Of Kenya"},{"captionHeading":"Happy To Be Home At Last","caption":"
Freddie and his stepmother. His parents were absolutely delighted to have their boy back whom they had been desparately searching for since January. Freddie's Father told us how he came to Eldoret town looking for his son, spent 3 nights searching the streets but could not find him. He was planning to go to Eldoret this week to once again begin searching. Freddie's parents could not understand why their son had run away, saying he was always such a good boy, helping with chores around the house and looking after his younger brothers and sisters and is very bright and was doing very well in school.<\/p>","url":"2008/9/29/Ross-Kemp-Meets-The-Glue-Kids-Of-Kenya-9.jpg","width":570,"height":364,"alt":"Ross Kemp Meets The Glue Kids Of Kenya"},{"captionHeading":"Freddie and Friends","caption":"
