Read: Son sues mother for spending his £50k payout: Parent admits squandering money

Adam Gray, pictured left, was just 11 when his father Richard, inset, died in the suicide bomb attack near Aldgate station in London on July 7, 2005. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority gave his mother, Louise, £250,000, Adam £50,000, and £100,000 to his sister, who did not wish to be identified. When Mr Gray reached 18 he was given the money, but asked his mother, pictured right meeting the Queen, to look after it for him until he was older.

However, less than two years later Mrs Gray, from Ipswich, admitted she has spent every penny.
