EASTENDERS has unveiled a disturbing child abuse storyline that has been unfolding for months without anyone realizing. The BBC soap has depicted troubled teenager Tommy Moon exhibiting aggressive behavior towards his mother, Kat Slater, for quite some time, but tonight, the situation took a more sinister turn.
Earlier this week, Tommy’s violent behavior resulted in Freddie Slater being hospitalized with severe burns.
As the reality of Tommy’s escalating abuse sank in—raising concerns that it could worsen—Kat became increasingly defensive.
Despite the Slaters’ attempts to persuade her that Tommy required professional assistance, she insisted they all remain silent. “Underneath, he’s just a hurt, scared little boy,” she stated.
“He needs patience, love, and understanding,” she insisted.
However, the situation took a more disturbing turn when Jean showed up to speak with Tommy and discovered him hurting Ernie.
Upon seeing Ernie covered in bruises, it was too much for Jean to bear. Ignoring Kat’s pleas, Jean made the difficult choice to contact social services and report Tommy’s abuse, determined to protect his younger brothers and Kat from him.
She told Harvey: “Their little bodies, covered in bruises, all shapes and colours.
“They’re terrified and I don’t blame them, Tommy’s been threatening them with all sorts.
“I honestly thought Tommy was going to hit Alfie earlier. Kat is so deep in denial she’s practically planted herself there.
“She’s terrified. No one wants to acknowledge that their own child is out of control. What if one of the boys ends up in the hospital—or worse?
“I’m really worried, and Harvey and I can’t just stand by and watch.”
Despite Harvey’s insistence that she couldn’t take action, Jean decided to call social services herself to report Tommy’s abuse.
Now, the question remains: how will Kat handle the revelation of Tommy’s behavior, and will she lash out at Jean once she discovers what she’s done?
