Senior family court judge Sir James Munby told a conference that it was curious that some judges never even see a photo of the child at the centre of a case. The government promised in 2014 to change the law so they could meet the judge who was making fundamental decisions about their life, but this hasn't yet happened. Oscar, nine, explains why he thinks children should be heard in family courts. (Image: The 'Lady of Justice' at the Old Bailey, credit: Getty)
