[And a family holds onto a home that can't be saved]( April 5, 2018 It’s a blustery winter day on the English coast and Nicola Bayless is walking along the Happisburgh cliffs with her daughter Darcy, surveying the damage after a recent storm. “My God. I haven’t seen it for a few days,” she says, and points to a cascade of orange clay that had recently sheared off the cliff and onto the beach below. “All this is part of the [cliff that used to be,](” she says. “It’s taken away quite a lot.” Also, according to a survey by the Mexican Human Rights Commission, there were[618 children living behind bars in Mexico in 2016](. That’s compared with 396 children in custody in 2013.
