"They've all been in trouble the way kids get into trouble," says
Beryl Mitchell about her four sons and one daughter, whom she has raised on her own and tried to teach the difference between right and wrong.
"I've always tried to provide my family with good values, discipline and a decent standard of living," she adds. But it's been a struggle. Her fourth child, 19-year-old Stephen, has recently served three sentences in youth detention for theft and attempted burglary, despite his elder brothers drastic attempts to "knock some sense into him". Other members of the family have repeated the " mistakes" that Beryl herself made when she was younger.
In 'Stephen's Going Straight', the last programme in a series of real-life dramas faced by different families, the Mitchells talk about how they have coped when one of its members has done wrong.
