Parents stunt disabled daughter's growth.

Dr Chetna Kang and Louisa Peacock focus on disability and mental health.

A couple from New Zealand took the decision to deliberately stunt their disabled daughter's growth because they believe it will improve her quality of life as she gets older. But are they right to do it?

Also - as a convicted violent rapist absconds for a week from a secure mental health unit in Milton Keynes, we ask if people with this sort of offending history should be in prison.

These are among the questions we're putting to a special discussion panel we've brought together for this programme.

Mik Scarlet is a broadcaster, access and inclusion consultant and disabled rights campaigner.

Andrew Clarke is chair of trustees at Bucks Disability Service or BuDS which supports people with disabilities in Buckinghamshire

And Deanne Clark is from Dunstable and is CEO of Impact MH Peer Support.
