In 2015, 24-year-old Dylan Grubbs, accidentally shoots his fiancée, the mother of his two children, and spends five years in jail: A tragic, final step, and all too familiar journey for our youngest children with a single, explosive journey.

The Kids We Lose is an unflinching exposé of how some of the most vulnerable, misunderstood kids with social, emotional and behavioral challenges, desperate for help, lash out only to be punished, restrained and secluded, and ultimately sent to jail.

Dylan’s life story acts as the spine of the film. As he takes us through critical chapters in his troubled life, we cut away to other stories and characters from around the country to illustrate, in real time, the challenges and consequences of being a “problem” kid or adolescent.
