Crossing The Line is a story of love, compassion and forgiveness; of taking control of your own life and fighting for what you believe in. A story of strength, courage and resilience.

Becoming a single parent is tough enough as it is, but when the police arrest you and throw you in a cell for 2.5 days, without questioning, without telling you why; and then social services force you to sign your children over to them, life takes on a whole new level of crazy; especially when you fight back against the system.

In 2015 Dawn was given an insiders look into the darker depths of the policing and justice system that operates on the West Coast of Scotland.  Discover how the various systems of governance are failing families and how organisational structure have a debilitating effect on communities and those raising children alone.

Learn about the stigmatism of being a single mum in today’s world,  and what it took to fight back with every molecule of her being.

This isn’t just her story.

This is the story of many.
