| The learning disability charity Mencap has said there are concerns over the amount of support carers receive.It was speaking on the day a body found in woodland in Worcestershire was confirmed to be that of a mother who disappeared on the same day as her vulnerable son. Heather Wardle, 39, from Redditch, and James Hughes, 22 on Sunday, went missing on Friday. James often uses a wheelchair and has the mental age of an 18-month-old child. Though Mencap is not able to comment on individual cases it said there was a "real concern" over support for carers bringing up disabled children.
