True Stories!! |
As a former child protective services and case worker for seven years in Georgia, I know exactly what Marc Parent and his "kids" have gone through. Although the laws and procedures are different, all CPS workers have to go through the same despair and red tape when we try to protect kids. It is literally impossible to a legal guardian to 40 kids.
Please read this book if you want a true story about child protective services, not some rag of a newspaper. |

excellent book |
| I am using this book with my undergraduate class at a major university. It's a wonderful and honest account of working wtih children at-risk. It reads like a novel but full of real-life experiences that helps the reader to understand the great responsibilities of social workers. |
