On 6 June 2020, sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, 27, celebrated Bibaa’s 46th birthday with loved ones in a local park.

My daughter's been groomed! Q I just found out that my daughter (13) has been talking to a man online. They’ve been exchanging sexually explicit messages for the last month. I didn’t even know she knew what sex was! I’ve grounded her and stopped her from having any screen time because she needs to understand what she’s done is very wrong.
