Other children talking
Here are some stories from children just like you who have a parent in prison. These stories are about some of the things that happened to them.
If something you hear upsets you please email us or go to The Phone in My House to find someone you can talk to.
These stories were sourced from children of prisoners in Christchurch New Zealand, at a Children of Prisoner’s Bill of Rights Day held by PILLARS on 7th June 2008. These are not their real faces.
