1/ When my wonderful baby was born in July, weighing three and a half lbs, I started having terrible thoughts
@arvonfoundation hello, just to let you know you have been hacked on your phone and email.
I contacted you on email and got a dodgy thing asking me to transfer money to a random account, caller Totleigh Barton and left a voicemail and started getting WhatsApps from the scammers

I wrote a poem called Bill, about the nurse, who wasn't called Bill, who taught me to wash my son in the Mother Baby Unit, when I was scared I would drown him.
