Add to a movie listNo Child of Mine is a 1997 British docudrama-television film starring Brooke Kinsella. It documents the true case of an individual called Kerry, who was sexually abused numerous times during her childhood.
Kerry (whose last name is not known), endures problems at home with her parents fighting each other and eventually separating. Shortly after, her mother gets a boyfriend who moves in with them and begins sexually abusing her. Her mother also occasionally takes part in the abuse. Kerry's father, a construction worker, suffers financial problems. Out of desperation, he attempts to lease her into prostitution, something she is unaware of until a few truck drivers borrow her.
As Kerry's situation worsens at home, which includes her sexual and physical abuse at the hands of her mother and her mother's boyfriend, she avoids returning home. One of her class teachers suddenly becomes aware of her situation and attempts to have her placed in childcare. The class teacher, social workers and friends attempt to file charges of sexual and physical abuse on behalf of Kerry against her mother's boyfriend. However, the crown prosecution later declines to continue the case, arguing there is not enough legal evidence to support the allegations. Kerry is placed into foster care, but her over-reactions cause her to damage and destroy property as well as create messes, making it impossible for the foster family to keep her.
Kerry is then placed into a childcare home. During her time in childcare Kerry continues to endure sexual abuse. She is seduced by a pimp and for some time willingly leases herself for profit. A social worker in the childcare home also begins to sexually abuse her. Feeling helpless, Kerry frequently visits her class teacher and tries to move in with him, but he is unable to care for her. He consults his friend and child support agent to have Kerry placed somewhere else where she'll be safer, but her case cannot be given anymore priority than other children.
Towards the end of the film, Kerry runs away and finds a smaller and more expensive childcare home in rural Britain. They decline her money, which she obtained by prostituting herself. Kerry does not speak for her first few days at the care, suffering from trauma. Later on as she begins to trust the people at the childcare, she begins to reveal her story.

The story concerns two siblings, Sohail and Nasima Wahid, who have been brought up in Bradford, West Yorkshire, a city with a large British Pakistani population. Both are now students, Sohail studying law in London and Nasima studying medicine in Leeds. With new government anti-terrorism legislation being used against Muslims in the UK in the wake of the September 11 attacks in New York, Sohail and Nasima are drawn in radically different directions. Without telling any of his family or friends, Sohail becomes a member of MI5, while continuing his studies, in the belief that he hopes to help to stop terrorists before the situation deteriorates further. In doing so, he learns that some of his neighbours and childhood friends are politically militant. Nasima is trying to integrate into British society, attending medical school and even dates a black British man. When her family finds out they send her back to Pakistan for a forced arranged marriage. Her boyfriend follows her, where he is beaten severely and imprisoned by her extended Pakistani family and is only saved by Sohail's intervention. She had already planned to meet the head of a terrorist training camp, and these events lead her to make her decision. She leaves behind her personal belongings and the terrorist group fake her death using a local female. This means she no longer exists and gives her the perfect opportunity not to change her mind and carry out her intentions of a mass suicide bombing.
