Extraordinary Families
A regular family in an extraordinary situation. Imagine…It is early morning, there is a loud knock at the door. The kids are eating their breakfast and you and your partner are rushing to get ready for work. You wonder who is at the door. You answer it to find uniformed police. They have a warrant to search your house for your partner’s computers and other devices. Your legs turn to jelly as you struggle to stay calm.
Imagine if you were a parent with a married adult child who has offended. It is early evening, there is a loud knock at the door. You are quietly watching tv with your partner. You wonder who is at the door. You answer it to find your adult son or daughter accompanied by police. They say they’ve been arrested and kicked out of the family home. Your legs to to jelly as you invite them in. You’ve never seen your child look so devastated. You are frightened and worried about their life.
There are many more stories just like this, even from the point of view of a sister and an adult daughter.
