inside the unregulated homes, failing to protect our most vulnerable Children.

We hear stories of abuse, exploitation and despair.

How many times did you attempt to take your life from times?

But I was actually discussed and no one should ever laid a hand on someone.

Not We exposed the dangers facing some of our most vulnerable Children.

People bringing in acids, life, samurai swords, everything.

Whoever did what they did, someone is to pay a price for the pain.

We reveal the confidential briefing sent to authorities and speak to a worker who witnessed the failures.

That was the last time I saw trafficked got gone.

A year ago, we were told vulnerable Children were being badly failed by authorities across England and Wales.

Increasingly, teenagers aged 16 and over on often in care, are being placed in homes where checks are only made by councils are not a regulator.

We obtained this confidential briefing Center round councils with claims of serious, safe guarding failings in homes run by company called Centurion Care.

We set out to find the young people affected.

It was horrendous drug taking motorbikes being stolen.

We've learned police were conducting surveillance on this home for young people caught up with criminal gangs.

I saw them did in drugs over the back wall while other vulnerable people lived in side.

Carla spend years in foster homes before being sent to Centurion Care so myself arm would be quite severe.

There was a situation where being really bad on died, lost a lot of blood and I went down to the number of staff, knows that you need to take me to the hospital and they were like, No, I can't leave the boys unattended, refusing to take you to hospital.

Yeah, he was like, Oh, you should just go walk to the shop, she says.

She was taken to a pharmacy an hour later, just a house where people profit from young, vulnerable Children.

Centurion Care told us all of their homes had first aid kits.

Incidents were recorded and sent to social workers.

On one occasion Carlo was taken to hospital and they cooperated with police installing CCTV to prevent drug dealing.

We then move to another Centurion Caro, two miles away, where they looked after a boy with learning disabilities.

There's a camera, and we obtained this a recording outside the home, showing the child in the yellow shirt in distress, lashing out.

Police were called here to an allegation of an assault by a boy on a worker.

We can't be sure what led up to this, but watch had the worker responds.

That would probably scared the life out of him.

Tell him that good Take his bloomed away and they just used to take home pa poems threatening with police.

He was absolutely petrified, Centurion Care told us.

No one was charged with an offence and they weren't aware of any allegation of bullying on this boy.

During our investigation, we also heard stories of vulnerable Children exposed to weapons, drugs and organized crime drug deal in people bringing an acid.

This teenager also lived in the home run by Centurion Care in life.

Cameras terrified he'd lock himself in his room.

How do you know it was acid in the bottle?

Because I opened it up smartly and it burnt my nose.

Went straight into my room, barricade my door because they feel safe.

He says Strangers were coming and going from the home every 10 minutes of your scan, like going to shake in and out in the now go around the corner during their drug deals or whatever and then coming back to that house is basically just a drug deal house.

But I lived there because I couldn't go in our world Centurion care totals.

They worked with police and neighbors to prevent drug dealing in any young person who smoke cannabis in the placement was asked to leave of the eight young man whose stories we've followed in Centurion Care.

We've learned that four were sent or of return to prison since leaving the homes in Manuel and will there one family agreed to let us talk to their son inside prison.

However, they didn't bet you weren't eating inside the patient off, but one that one hung up like many unregulated homes is down to the young person to manage their finances and food.

Emmanuel repeatedly disappeared because he was involved in county lines.

Did you ever ask the staffing sides enjoying care for help?

You know that the way I needed to be stopped.

Emmanuel was jailed for possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.

Centurion Care said they felt all Children were safe and secure across their placements.

We spent weeks trying to track down someone who knew the Children involved.

Andi was a support worker across many of the homes.

Sexual exploits includes drugs and alcohol abuse.

From that had disabilities will in one roof.

You see, most shocked by what happened here.

And he remembers a girl who regularly went missing.

I just saw a bunch of blazing and she just jumped in really from this spot from this spot.

She was missing for more than a week before being found in the Midlands.

Police ended up finding also what's happened.

There's no suggestion Centurion Care staff were involved in her trafficking.

It took months to find out who she waas where she now lived.

You know, if you go for things, were like the care system way.

What was the impact on you being taken like that about inputs?

Like many Children in care, she was placed in a home outside of a local authority.

I was always just running away, trying to get away from the home, trying to get away from the environment, staff them, she says.

She was also sexually abused by a young person in the home that the staff members phone the police.

No did the staff members removed the boys from the home who had been hurting our.

They just told me that me and the guy were in a relationship.

Centurion Care told us all staff had safeguarding training.
