Over the last month parents, as well as MPs and peers, have spoken out about autistic children and vulnerable adults being placed in hospitals for a long time and sometimes treated poorly. The Joint Committee of Human Rights said mental health hospitals can inflict \\u201cterrible suffering on those detained \\u2026 causing anguish to their distraught family.\\u201d One mother in the West Midlands got in touch with us to tell us about her daughter. Her daughter has autism and other mental health conditions and went to hospital when she was 14. She\\u2019s now 28 and has never returned home. In fact, she\\u2019s in her sixth hospital, 80 miles from her family. She spoke to Siobhann Tighe about how her daughter\\u2019s absence has affected the whole family.

As Disney releases Frozen 2, we\\u2019ll be discussing how it\\u2019ll go down with its young audience. Its predecessor, Frozen, is the most successful animated musical of all time. And its impact wasn\\u2019t just financial \\u2013 fans called it the most important feminist film ever made. I\\u2019ll be speaking to the film critic Rhianna Dhillon and the journalist Bidisha.

We hear about the woman at the centre of new BBC Sounds podcast, The Missing Cryptoqueen.
