Filling a gap
This is the first book I've seen that addresses the important, and often confusing legal underpinnings of Foster Care in a manner that is helpful to those not in the legal profession. It's a must for anyone involved in the Foster Care system.
An Expert Overview and Extremely Readable
This book is a terrific overview of the law of foster care, written by two of the leading experts in the field.It is a perfect introduction for social workers, lawyers, and others, and is a useful reference as well.And it is highly readable, not the ordinary legal treatise.

Cure the Source
This ethnography served to not only shed light on the horror that is child labor, but it also served as a reality check.Child labor is terrible but the alternatives are worse.The revelation afforded by this ethnography is that laws against child labor do not solve the problem.Children will only find a new way to secure money.The new alternatives are worse and include begging, stealing, and/or prostitution.In fact, child labor is often their only way of survival.

thoughtful and disturbing
this book is thoughtful and disturbing; it has research that may seem dry at times, but when you consider the human cost behind the numbers, it is horrifying.the author opens discussions about child labor and abuse within the context of social mores that are fascinating; then leaves the reader to decide for herself.well worth the read although i found myself unable even more convinced that child labor is a crime against humanity that must be stopped. ...
