Finding Stevie is a dark and poignant true story that highlights
the dangers lurking online. When Stevie's social worker tells
Cathy, an experienced foster carer, that Stevie, 14, is gender
fluid she isn't sure what that term means and looks it up. Stevie,
together with his younger brother and sister, have been brought up
by their grandparents as their mother is in prison. But the
grandparents can no longer cope with Stevie's behaviour so they
place him in care. Stevie is exploring his gender identity, and
like many young people he spends time online. Cathy warns him about
the dangers of talking to strangers online and advises him how to
stay safe. When his younger siblings tell their grandmother that
they have a secret they can't tell, Cathy is worried. However,
nothing could have prepared her for the truth when Stevie finally
breaks down and confesses what he's done.
