Man Alive

1972: Pity the Children (1975x31)

Data emisji: Wrz 04, 1975

The sixth in a short season from earlier programmes. Child cruelty cases provoke strong reactions. But it is now accepted that while protecting the child is paramount, understanding the parent is better than punishment. HAROLD WILLIAMSON talks to JOHN ROBINSON who went to prison for attacking his 18-month-old son and sees how some London mothers, who live in fear of repeating attacks on their own children, are being helped.
