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.
