Disposable Children

the long version

Complex and knotted issues are untangled as author Renny Golden offers an incisive and detailed critical analysis of each arm of today's system, revealing a bureaucracy lurching from crisis to crisis and failing to keep children safe and whole. Tragedy, however, does not have the last word here. Drawing from the research of the family support movement and from community and youth development initiatives, Golden offers examples of innovative community-directed efforts to build the support necessary to prevent family and social breakdown.
