A young man who wanted to end his life has credited a scheme heading to Glasgow Central as the reason he is still here.
Corey Paterson admits if it wasn’t for Railway Children – a project designed to protect young, vulnerable people on the rail network – he may not be here today.
The aim is, alongside the rail industry and the British Transport Police , to spot and raise awareness of young people in vulnerable situations, such as those leaving home to escape family conflict, abuse, mentalAnd Corey, who now works with the charity, revealed he was one of those vulnerable people seven years ago, before Railway Children came to his aid.“I thought there was no way out, there is no way I can get any help to sort this out.
In 2022/23, out of 962 Safeguarding and Vulnerability Reports for incidents occurring in Scotland involving children and young people, 181 were for Glasgow Central. He said: “The railway stations are like a magnet for runaway children. They haven’t got a car, you need a ticket to get on a bus, but you can bunk a train., there are other people, there are capable guardians, it’s warm and dry, and they feel safe.“We were identifying all these children, really troubled, difficult, terrible circumstances.
