Unseen: The ‘invisible girl’ abandoned by the state
Description
Nonita had a voice, but nobody heard it.
Aged just 18 and in care, Nonita was hit and killed b y a moving train – despite repeatedly warning the professionals responsible for her that she planned to take her own life.
Shocked by Nonita's untimely death, Katharine Bryson - a volunteer who had worked with her - became determined to find out who knew what, and when.
What she uncovered horrified her – and it's a story the state never wanted to be told.
Niall is joined by Sky's people and politics correspondent Nick Martin.
