The Social Worker visited remand prisoner Kelly Neelan when she was incarcerated at the Millbank Secure Training Centre in 2021 pending her trial for her part in the unprovoked attack on Nina Lucas and Seb Franklin which had resulted in the latter's death. Her neglectful mother, Laura Neelan, had tried to sell her story to the papers for cash and, provoked beyond the limit after years of abuse, the underaged girl reported her mother to the police for child cruelty.

The worker, in the presence of Kelly's solicitor Imran Habeeb, interviewed her about her allegations and was given chapter and verse on her mother's past transgressions including going missing for days or weeks on end on benders with blokes she had met which sometimes resulted in violent attacks upon her return. Kelly felt her mother resented her for reminding her of her thuggish loan shark father Rick Neelan, who had genuinely loved her, and concluded ruefully that her whole family was a mess.
