ScreenPlay: Testimony of a Child

on BBC Two England

Being accused of child abuse is a nightmare every family dreads.
The Taylors are an ordinary happy family, but Paul and Jill are worried about their 11-year-old son Mark, who is not eating. The family GP has diagnosed 'failure to thrive', and Mark is sent to the hospital for a check-up.
After the hospital doctor's examination, the Taylors are immediately catapulted into an emotional maelstrom which threatens to change their lives for ever.
