they've spent years fighting for justice. Now, our maternity
system's come under fire, with the Australians even branding it an
"unfortunate experiment".

Jailed for cash
When 12-year-old Eric first appeared in court charged with
stealing his mother's car, they both thought he'd be given a
talking to - and let go. Instead he was robbed of years of his
life, in a shocking scam uncovered by

teens have been locked up for minor charges, by a judge pocketing
backhanders from the jail they were sent to. You won't believe what
we uncover.

minerals, water with fibre, and even water that can allegedly
improve your memory.
20/20 puts those bold claims to the
test - and finds out what you're really paying for.
PLUS Net nightmares - It's the kind of scenario that's played for laughs in many comedies. But for Nick White, the idea of getting trapped in an elevator's no longer a giggle.
