Only Time Would Tell: Harold Williamson revisits The Ford Family

on BBC Two England

Childhood was unhappy for Tina and Kim Ford. Their parents fought, and when their mother walked out. the sisters were put in a home. That was back in 1962. So, for most of their childhood, they were part of an army of 70,000 children taken over by local authorities. When their father remarried, they went back into a real home again. But they couldn't adjust to family life and left to fend for themselves at 16. Each has a daughter of her own now. They are both unmarried and unemployed but determined, against all the odds, to keep their daughters - not to let them get institutionalised.
