Michael Sheen speaks to young people in care as part of a BBC investigation into the system.
When she was 16 she was offered a hostel to stay in by social workers, which she said had a drug dealer staying there.Gemma says she is clean thanks to a close family member but feels the system needs to listen to young people more to prevent stories such as hers happening again
My personal view is that we shouldn't tolerate that some young people just disappear and the worst possible things imaginable happen to them. The Welsh Local Government Association said it regretted the standard of care and support it wanted to achieve has not been met in everyone's case, and that it was keen to learn from young people's experiences.
"Crises do happen, placements break down, families break down... and the children have to be put somewhere... we don't accept that that should be the situation and we're trying to do things to stop that."
