Boot CampMonday 13 January 2003
16 year old Susie El-Madawi from Halifax has spent the last 15 months in a Mexican 'boot camp'.

Her mother Sarah actually tricked Susie into going to Mexico, then left her at the Mormon run Casa by the Sea. She wasn't allowed to see her daughter again face-to-face for five months.
Sarah joins Jenni to explain what it was that made her so desperate to seek out such a drastic measure.
