What happened to Shannon Matthews after she was rescued from her kidnapping?

It is a case which gripped Yorkshire as the great news broke that Shannon had been found - and the case then turned as the family's kidnap hoax was revealed.

As the BBC One drama The Moorside hits screens - its first episode was watched by more than seven million people - the question is now being asked: Where is Shannon Matthews now?

Shannon was found on March 14, 2008 at a house in Batley Carr, one mile from her Dewsbury home.
