Driving Fines Drove My Son to Death | This Morning

In March 2016, 20-year-old Jerome Rogers was found dead in his home in Croydon - he had taken his own life. Jerome was struggling to cope with the financial consequences of two traffic offence tickets which had shot up to £1,000 after he was unable to pay the initial £65 charge. Jerome's mother Tracey shares his story.

The things this country does to get money is a joke. Unfortunately in this case it led to the worst possible outcome. rip Jerome 🙏

[@coolwahl]

He literally did everything he could to pay it off and it still wasn’t enough!?! Then the family receive £10,000 for his funeral?? What is wrong with this country and corporations!??
