Viv Wright Social worker Viv Wright dealt with two situations involving children of Street residents who were potentially at risk . In August 2003 , toddler Bethany Platt was electrocuted in the flat where she was living with mother Sarah Platt and her boyfriend Todd Grimshaw . Although she recovered quickly , she was taken to Weatherfield General for observation . It was later discovered that she had touched a live wire under the skirting board and that this was due to a botched job by Tony Stewart when he illegally connected the electricity to the mains in Barlow ' s Bookies below . Despite not knowing this , Gail Platt had already been livid that Sarah had left her home to live with Todd and took this incident as proof that she shouldn ' t be outside the family home , despite the fact that she was over the legal age to do so . Gail rang social services and reported Bethany as being neglected . Todd and Sarah were nervous when told they had an impending visit but were soothed by the gentle demeanour of Viv who also showed sympathy with Sarah ' s fractious relationship with her mother however Gail was later furious and frustrated to be told that Viv felt that although conditions in the cramped flat weren ' t ideal , she had see far worse and felt that there were no real problems to be sorted out . When a few days later Gail discovered that Sarah had dropped out of education to supplement hers and Todd ' s income , she lied to Viv that Bethany was being left alone . Viv made another visit to the flat where she asked for a rota of Bethany ' s carers . They obliged but when Sarah realised that Gail was behind this second visit she angrily told her mother that she ' d never see her granddaughter again . Eight months later , in May 2004 , it was Chesney Brown who was the subject of her concern when the nine - year old started to play truant , concerned that his beloved dog Schmeichel would feel lonely during the day . Before Chesney could return , Viv visited 5 Coronation Street where her first sight of the lad was him watching a horse race with Les Battersby , jumping up with delight at the winner of a horse race on the television and holding a can of beer ( although in fairness he had just held it for Les while he answered the door ) . Chesney had been abandoned again by his mother Cilla and Viv was quite acquainted with his case having known him for several years . Chesney implored Viv to let him stay with Les and family , saying it was the best home he ' d ever had . When Viv called back to check on Chesneya few days later , she was appalled to find out that in the desperate haste to see that the boy did get to school , they ' d left him outside an empty building as it was half - term . Nevertheless she consulted with her colleagues and gave the good news that Chesney could remain in No . 5 in the guardianship of his big sister Fiz . List of appearances . 2003 2004
