0:00:02 > 0:00:04Attention! The My Life In Care videos are about to receive
0:00:04 > 0:00:06their world premiere in the TV room.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Don't miss these personal takes
0:00:09 > 0:00:12on what life is really like in Ashdene Ridge.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14And next up, it's Tee!
0:00:16 > 0:00:17This one should be funny.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Er...Sash, did you hear something?
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Nah, nothing important.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26I'm Tee Taylor and this is my I'm video thingy.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I'm one of the oldest here at the Dumping Ground,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31so I've seen some sights in my time here.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35One of the maddest days, though, probably was kind of down to me.
0:00:35 > 0:00:42And that's because I had this thing about a certain kind of farm animal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46But that was a long, long time ago. I'm much, much better now.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Baa!- Can I touch it?- She's not an it, she's a she.- What's her name?
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Baronica Belanie Bibibulous Saffybum the First.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Harry, where...?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Holy...cow!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Um...sheep.- What's going... Oh, no!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- It's Mrs Sheep. - That's not her name! It's...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- I don't care what her name is. Tee, you can't have a sheep!- Yes, I can.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12No-one's going to want to foster us if we come with farmyard animals.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15'So my brother Johnny was stressing. No big surprise there.'
0:01:15 > 0:01:19'But everyone else got used to having Baronica around the place.'
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Oh, sweet sheep! Whose is he?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25He is a she. She's mine.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29'Well, almost everyone.'
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Er...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- What is that?- A sheep.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I meant, what's it doing here? Hm?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- It's watching TV.- Baa!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42'One sheep in the house is one thing,
0:01:42 > 0:01:47'loads of them in somebody else's house maybe isn't such a good idea.'
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Get...off...my...land!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Hurry up, come on!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Or I'll set the pigs on you! - Quick! Hurry up!
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Which idiot left the sheep out of the field and into the house, hm?!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08They followed me. I didn't mean to leave the gate open.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I hope you understand the consequences of your actions.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I really do.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17'The consequences were that we lost the holiday.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19'And, as you can probably guess,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21'I wasn't exactly flavour of the month.'
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Put your seatbelts on, please. - 'I felt terrible.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27'And certain people milked the situation for cheap laughs,
0:02:27 > 0:02:28'which didn't exactly help.'
0:02:30 > 0:02:31# Who let the sheep out?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33# Who? Who? Who? Who? #
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Baa!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yeah, very helpful, Tyler, I'm sure.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Someone had to lighten the mood. And you can't put a price on that.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- TV:- So I made a stupid mistake.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45But it was so mean how everyone
0:02:45 > 0:02:47gave me the cold shoulder over the whole sheep-gate thing.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Or should I say gate-gate?- Badumsh!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So what I'm saying is I can't stand
0:02:54 > 0:02:57when people are deliberately mean and go out of their way to hurt you.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I wish I could do something to make it better.- Oh, you can.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05What? Anything. Just tell me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07You can go away.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10'Not good.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14'But I can see why losing our holiday made Lily act that way.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18'Yeah, she was being mean, but she's not a nasty person deep down.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Unlike that dodgy pair who thought Kaz had taken their money.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25'They were just horrible.'
0:03:25 > 0:03:27This isn't a family home.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- They're in care.- So?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35So this stuff of hers, it probably means everything to her.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38'Kaz hadn't meant to take their stupid money,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40'but they were out to get it back whatever it took.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43'And if anyone got hurt in the process, that was just tough.'
0:03:43 > 0:03:45We know who you are now.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Tee.- D'you hear that?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Don't panic. Don't say a word.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- They're trying to find out where you are.- ..Pictures of Mummy!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57They're going through my things!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03'How can anyone be so heartless as to destroy something
0:04:03 > 0:04:04'so obviously precious as that?'
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- (They weren't kidding, were they?) - Tee, I'm so sorry.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12(This isn't on.)
0:04:12 > 0:04:14(No, it's not.)
0:04:14 > 0:04:16(D'you know what they've done?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19(They've made me very angry.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22(They're not getting their money and they're not getting away.)
0:04:22 > 0:04:25She got what was coming to her all right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh! A-A-A-Argh!
0:04:27 > 0:04:31'And she deserved everything she got for being so unkind.'
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- And we deserved an award. - Which we are still waiting for.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36BOTH: Mike!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40But ever worse is when people are mean,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42but pretend to be the opposite.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44How long have you been here?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Since I was five. The longest.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Who came next?- Then it was Carmen.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Then Harry, Tyler and Jody.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- TEE'S VOICE:- You're arrogant and you're a bully. You're arrogant...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00'There's nothing worse than being twofaced.'
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- TEE'S VOICE:- Carmen, Harry, Tyler then Jody.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Can't you see I'm busy?!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- TEE'S VOICE: - Tyler is manipulative.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- TEE'S VOICE:- Carmen is so arrogant.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I can't believe she'd say something like that!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20But like I say, when I get angry, I get even.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22However long it takes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Naming no names, but you have been warned.- Ooo, scary Tee(!)
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- I think she's talking about you. - I'd watch out if I were you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I dunno, it feels funny listing your talents, like I'm bragging.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Er...but I am a quite creative sort of person.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Writing is something I like to do. It's great to try out new words.- Hm!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yeah, I can think of a few words.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Long, boring, trying too hard. Hm!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53This is Tee's story. This is going to walk it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57"Sheena tossed and turned amidst profound terror
0:05:57 > 0:05:59"as the mist stalked her dreams
0:05:59 > 0:06:02"where the dark memory of her past was unleashed."
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Hm!- Don't be mean.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's not Tee's fault she accidentally swallowed a dictionary.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11THEY CHUCKLE
0:06:11 > 0:06:14'And I've always loved doing arty stuff, too.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17'Sometimes a picture can say so much more than words.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32'Although when Kaz took me to meet this artist friend of hers...'
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Roscoe!- Kazima!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41'..it made me realise that compared to what he did,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44'my stuff was just a muddle of things chucked together.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46'He knew the message he wanted to get across.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Amazing!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The thing is, just because someone is an artist with bags of talent
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and knows exactly what he's doing...
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- And who happens to be drop-dead gorgeous.- Irrelevant.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04'..that doesn't mean that that person's without their faults.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05'Roscoe certainly was.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08'The ideas he had were amazing and he had so many of them.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11'I don't think I've ever met anyone that talented.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14'Trouble is, I don't think I've ever met anyone that selfish either.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Oi! You!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I don't see a way out, do you?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yeah, I know. You could definitely get lost in his eyes, though.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I knew you'd be OK. You're a first-timer. It's different for me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I had to get out of there.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39You talk like you want to save the world,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42but when things get difficult, you're just out to save yourself!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43It's just the way it works.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49So if it was a choice between being a proper artist
0:07:49 > 0:07:52or being a proper friend, I know which I'd rather be.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Who are you?- He's no-one.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57And he's leaving.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Yeah, that's me, no-one.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06My family.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Well, for me, that obviously means Johnny.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11We've always been close, so... Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I miss him loads now that he's not here any more.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Johnny?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18(Cheers.)
0:08:18 > 0:08:19You'd better go.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23'Funny to think we've been together since the day I was born...'
0:08:23 > 0:08:24..and now that he's left to join the army,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26we might never live in the same house again.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Aw, my name's Tee and I'm scared of growing up(!)
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Why don't you grow up?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34The funny thing with Johnny and me is that
0:08:34 > 0:08:37although we're really different as people, we rub along.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39'No dramas or big fallouts.'
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Tee, why did you mess up my room? - I didn't mess up your room.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Why would I do that, stranger boy?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46'Well, not that many dramas and fallouts.'
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Do not climb that tree! I mean it!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Ow! Get off me! Get off! Leave me alone! Stop it!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I hate you! You're weird! I hate that you're my brother!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'OK, so the normal amount of dramas and fallouts
0:09:07 > 0:09:08'that brothers and sisters have.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm so ashamed of you, I wish you weren't my brother!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13'But we do make it up.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18'And we always have done.'
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- 'Then there's Taylor number three.' - This is Hope.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Your sister.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33'She's so cute. I've never lived with her, well, not yet, anyway.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34'But I'd do anything for her.'
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I won't be a minute, sweetie.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Hello!
0:09:50 > 0:09:54'Maybe sometimes I go a tiny bit too far to make sure she's OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56'But when you know what it's like not to feel safe,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58'you don't want anyone you care about to be in danger.'
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Like when I thought Mum hadn't been looking after Hope properly.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Mike, you have to take her into care, please!- I can't do that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Why not?! She's a child that needs looking after, so look after her!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- It's your job!- Tee, you know that it doesn't work like that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15But it should!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17'I thought I was doing the right thing.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20'But looking back, even though I had meant for the best,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22'I put Mum through hell.'
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Tee, today, you made me realise something.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I knew there was nothing I wouldn't do to get Hope back.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33And no matter what happens to me, no-one will ever hurt her.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Never.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Anyway, enough of that.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46OK, this might sound mad, but once I explain, you'll understand.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Because my idea of a nightmare is playing a game
0:10:48 > 0:10:50that most people enjoy.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55It sounds silly, but hide-and-seek really creeps me out.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56It always has done.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Yeah, she's right, it does sound a bit silly.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Yeah, completely stupid.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I'd be careful what you say about Tee.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Just remember, she always gets even.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15The reason I hate hide-and-seek so much is because it reminds me
0:11:15 > 0:11:17of my stepdad, Keith.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'd never told anyone.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I used to curl up in a little ball somewhere,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27hoping he wouldn't find me.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30He had the worst temper ever.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34One time, I was in the house alone
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and I could hear him pulling up outside.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And if he found me, he'd go absolutely mental.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Tee, you don't have to tell me this.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I never play hide-and-seek.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's not the hiding part, it's getting found.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53They're coming for you and there's nothing you can do.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56'And it looked like the nightmare was starting all over again.'
0:11:56 > 0:11:58KNOCK AT DOOR / BARKING
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Where's Mum?- Not here. Just me and my angel.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Isn't that right, Hope? Hm?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08What, she left her with you?!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Me and Hope are getting to know one another.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Little star, aren't you, eh? Mwah! Eh?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15See, she loves her daddy, don't you?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Johnny, what are you doing here? - We were just catching up.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Mum was convinced that this time, he'd be different.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Like that was ever going to happen!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- You're not wanted. - How could Mum not see through him?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Mum, it's me!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- You can't be here! - What happened to your face?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37He didn't mean it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41He wouldn't leave last night. I tried to make him and...
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Mum...- Oh, please, just go! If he finds you here...!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Hope was screaming and I've only just calmed her down.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- I'm not leaving. Not when you're like this.- You have to!
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Mum, I'm staying.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58'Except this time, Johnny wasn't a little kid any more.'
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- What you doing here?- Waiting for you.- Where your mum?- She's gone.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Luce?!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05JOHNNY SIGHS
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Where are they? - I told you, they've gone.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Mum doesn't want you here.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- This is down to you, isn't it? - I'm not the one who hit her.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Is this really what you want for your daughter?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Leave Hope out of this.- What, seeing her mum with black eyes?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I'm warning you. - Tee still has nightmares.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- That's what you'll do to Hope. - I love Hope.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25She's mine. Her and your mother.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Funny kind of love. Bruises, black eyes, nightmares.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Johnny was so brave. I can't tell you how proud of him I was.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43And hopefully, that's Keith gone for good.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45He was a two-faced bully.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47But as long as we look out for each other,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49we can always beat two-faced bullies.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51They don't stand a chance.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Hear, hear!- Well said, kid.
