In Uganda, a young woman is forced into an arranged marriage to a much older man and gives birth to a daughter. The young mother tries to escape the constraints of the relationship and culture, but becomes entangled in one of the many human trafficking rings that exist around the world. A journey of abuse and wandering through dark rooms eventually leads her to the UK, where she is rescued by kind people and a caring agency.
She was given formal care. She became stable and began studying to start a new life in a strange land. She worked hard to improve her English and studied law. With the support of the British government and charities, she is thrilled to be able to bring her young daughter to live with her in the UK. After an emotional reunion, mother and daughter are able to begin to rebuild their loving relationship.
A casual relationship leads to pregnancy, which brings her into contact with UK social services. Instead of protecting her, her daughter and her unborn child, she is once again caught up in the unscrupulous practices of UK social services and the family courts. A web of lies paints her from a vulnerable victim of trafficking into a guilty mother who is putting her child at risk. She fights back and is saved by her partner, a man who could have simply walked away.
In Secret CourtThe trial is decided without a jury, without public witnesses or reporters. The verdict is cold, merciless, damning and decisive. The girl is taken away and her newborn son taken from her. Welcome to Britain, a country where child abduction is rampant. Young, innocent lives are given up for adoption to parents chosen by the state.
