December’s broadcast of the BBC drama Responsible Child highlighted the plight of youth in criminal justice systems. Based on a true story, it recounts the trial of 12-year-old Ray who, along with
David, 13, arrived in Uganda in July 2016 fleeing the civil war that broke out in South Sudan. He arrived with his mother and father and his eight brothers and sisters after two days of walking. He recalls seeing many dead bodies lining the sides of the tracks that led to Uganda’s northern border. The family were fearful of abduction by rebel groups or becoming caught in crossfire between the government and militia groups.
