Whatever Happened to Childhood?

Childhood as today’s adults knew it no longer exists. Early exposure to the pressures of drug usage and changing sexual morality, along with a new indifference to, and participation in, criminal behaviour is forcing our children into becoming adults at a younger age. Both young people and adults tell their stories and explore our changing society.
