Wasted: The Plight of America's Unwanted Children

en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 1997

The public guardian of Cook County, Illinois, charges that the child welfare bureaucracy, designed to help children, is instead helping to destroy them.

Recenzii

A splendid book.
Honest and self-reflective...written with wit and great knowledge.
Wasted is a first-rate read-poignant and instructive.
Insightful and passionate...a book about responsibility and of how shirking it leads to social catastrophe.
A powerful indictment of the child welfare system...its message deserves a broad hearing among those who care about our society's children.
