Armed Police Dragged My Barefoot 9-Year-Old Into a Cage No Grounds.No Apology | Kate Markland -Ep 19

Send us Fan MailArmed police arrived at the door. No warning. No conversation. No grounds.Kate Markland's 9-year-old son Gabriel was dragged barefoot down an icy driveway and locked in a police cage - while she was forced to stand and watch, screaming, asking what she had done wrong. The answer? Nothing. What she had done wrong? Nothing.Two and a half years later, Kate has sat in the office of the Lord Chancellor. Her evidence has been accepted by Parliament's Justice Committee, the Parliamentary Accounts Committee, and Social Work England. Gloucestershire Police's own commissioner admitted the force was failing children.And yet - Kate gets one hour a week on FaceTime with her son.In this raw and unflinching conversation, Kate shares:* The moment armed police came for Gabriel and what he did to fight back* How she was labelled "mad" despite a clean medical record and a psychological assessment from a professor of psychology* Why she believes the system silences children to protect institutions - not the other way around* The £384,000 per child per year figure that made everything make sense* How she and Gabriel wrote two bestselling books from a weekly FaceTime call and built StoryQuest to give hundreds of children a voice* Why she now calls literacy "the most dangerous thing" she possessesThis is not just Kate's story. It's a pattern. And it needs to be heard.🔗 Find Kate Markland:LinkedIn: Kate MarklandWebsite: storyquestglobal.com💬 ABOUT THE SENSE ONLY PODCASTFor those tired of the noise, distraction and disconnection.
