The John Shields case exposes the corruption of the state in Scotland, the callousness of those trusted to protect and care for our people, and the risks run by anyone who dares to fight for what is right for those they love.
In episode one we cover the early years of the life of John’s son, John William Shields, or John-junior. He was born with a profound disability and he needs 24-7 care. He is unable to talk. But he is not unable to love or to be happy. Neither is he unable to feel pain or to experience terror.
This episode covers the circumstances that resulted in John-junior being placed in the care of the state and the Church of Scotland. It is the first of a seven-part series that will cover in detail this vitally important story.
