The ways children's rights are handled by the state remains highly
controversial, frequently criticised and a topic of national and
international interest, yet little is known about the actual
operations of the US's Child Welfare System. This book takes us
inside the Child Protective Services, for an in-depth look at the
entire organization. Examining the role of the agency from the
initial dealing with a family, to the end when a case is
discharged, the author shows how parents negotiate with the state
for custody of their children and how being held accountable to the
state affects these families. Within each chapter are heartbreaking
stories culled from the author's ride-alongs with social workers,
or the numerous juvenile court cases that she was able to observe
-- stories which illustrate the personal affects of bureaucratic
decisions.
