Scots family living in council flat 'covered in mould' fear kids' health at risk
23.12.2022 - 18:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots family have been left fearing for the health of their son and premature baby after a chronic mould problem in their council flat has made their lives a 'nightmare'.
Jason Smart, 43, and his partner Linda Smart, 32, claim the long running issue has left mould to spread to their children's clothes, shoes and high chairs as well as bedding and furniture in the Falkirk property. It has also spread to their baby's cot.
The couple say their three-year-old son Kai has been in hospital countless times with chest infections and breathing difficulties, which they believe has been worsened by the living conditions.
Their premature daughter Kiera, who was born in August, also spent a night in hospital after being diagnosed with bronchiolitis at just four weeks old.
Dad-of-four Jason, who also lives with kids Alexander, 10, and Lily, 6, said he contacted Falkirk Council chiefs who sent out a contractor to assess the situation but nothing has been done. He claims the issue is having a detrimental impact on the whole family.
Jason said: "This is no way to live. I'm so worried about my children.
"Kai just finished antibiotics but he's still got a cough. He's had chest infections before. When our baby got bronchiolitis I really panicked.
"We noticed a change in her cry, it had become crackly when she was trying to breathe. The mould is affecting our health.
"I'm always picking up infections myself. And my wife is really struggling.
"She's been put on anti-depressants recently. We had four kids and I'm worrying about how this is affecting them. I feel like such a bad parent."
Jason, who suffers from asthma and scarring on his lungs due to recurring chest infections, claims he complained for months before the council sent out a specialist
