Real stories from official records
Introduced by Captain Athelstan Popkess Chief Constable of City Police in a large Midland city 4-' The Little Terror '
' I want you to put my mother in prison,' said Angela to the Police Constable on duty. She looked like a little angel-but this was misleading.....
Why these calls came to the Police and what the Police did is told by Captain Popkess. But what happened next is told in this programme by a Local Education Authority's Child Guidance Officer. There are no actors in these programmes and only the names and minor details of the stories have been changed to avoid identification.
