Kymyada and Kevin. (Part 1)
Description
Filmed inside Indiana's Lake County Juvenile Justice Complex, this documentary is one in a series of programs exploring where juvenile crime begins, how it evolves, and what's at stake for kids, families, and professionals in the system. Featured in this episode (the first of two parts) are the stories of 16-year-old Kevin Wells, who at the tail end of a 100-day stay at Lake County reaches his breaking point; and teen mother Kymyada, who has a penchant for running away and flouting her own mother's authority.
