What "Law & Order:" 1-th episode about
The terrifying CCTV image of a toddler being led to his passing haunts this episode of Law & Order UK which deals with the difficult and morally complex issue of children who hug. As a society, we are very unforgiving of child huggers but if the huggers themselves are only children, it begs the question - who really is responsible for the crime? With two children in the frame, each blaming the other, can forensic evidence prove who is guilty of strangling little Conor to passing? In an emotionally gut wrenching episode, George defies his superiors and instead takes instruction from the victim's mother who has a surprising point of view on the crime. Can the justice system, and ultimately the government, afford to be lenient?
