In 2010 Hera McLeod had a baby with a man called Joaquin Rams. When they met, Joaquin came across as a charming person, but then things started to change. Shortly after the birth of their son Prince, they separated. Hera got legal custody of him and Rams was granted unsupervised access. During one of these visits Rams killed 15-month-old Prince. Hera told Emily Webb how she used her grief and anger to become an advocate for child protection. (This episode was first broadcast in September 2019) If you are looking for support for any of the issues discussed in this programme, you can find links to useful organisations at BBC Action line.
