Being a single mother is one of the hardest jobs in the world. So many of us know at least one single mother who does everything she can to provide for her children. She would give them the shirt off of her back if it meant that they would be happy. Many of us come from single mothers who gave up everything to raise us.

From the outside, that is exactly how friends and family members saw Sarah Barras. Having six children to care for on your own is no joke. With an absent father who never even bothered to meet any of his six children, life is a struggle. But Sarah's family was not all that it seemed.

But behind closed doors, this was a home full of dark, disturbing secrets that built up for almost a decade before leading to the end of many young lives. Tristan and Blake Barras were the oldest of six children born to their mother, 35-year-old Sarah Barras. The family lived in a home located on Gregg House Road in Shergreen, Yorkshire, England. 14-year-old Blake was described as sweet and kind.

He wore his heart on his sleeve and made everyone around him feel loved. He had this natural ability to make those around him smile, even if he was having a bad day himself. He cared about everyone around him and he was known to just have the biggest heart. His little brother, 13-year-old Tristan, was described as being mischievous and lovable. He always wanted to stand out and be different.

He dyed his hair multicolored to stand out from the rest and people loved him for it. He was known to be brave and self-assured. He always did what he wanted, no matter what anybody thought of him. You just look like every other person.

Why have you got a bright yellow Mohican is a question I've never had to ask in all my years here, but today it's the one I'm asking of you. It turns out Tristan's new look is for charity. My friend's dying of bone cancer. I asked if I could dye my hair yellow for him. But what kind of Friday is it today? I need to make sure that the neighbours across the road complain it's too noisy.

to those on the outside it appeared that sarah was the single mother to six children ages seven months three years old 10 11 13 and 14 years old she was seen as a loving devoted mother who was doing everything in her power to raise her children She was known to be her children's biggest advocate and did everything to help them and support them.

That was made clear when in November of 2018, Sarah reached out to their local child and family services agency to ask for help with her second oldest child, Tristan. It was reported that Tristan had been diagnosed with autism, and I believe both him and Blake, as well as a few other children in the family, were also diagnosed with ADHD.

Either way, when Sarah reached out for help, she stated that both of the oldest boys had an unhealthy obsession with pornography. She stated that 13-year-old Tristan specifically was showing a lot of behavioral issues, constantly accessing internet porn, and there was even a time where he stole an aunt's car without permission.
