Produktbeschreibung

There are few topics as tragic as child and abuse neglect. And few things as frustrating as trying to predict it. Why are some children more at risk of abuse and neglect than others? Who are they? Where are thy from? Why are some families more vulnerable than others? What makes them different? What are they lacking? Why does the cycle repeat itself? How can we stop it? Child Protection Agencies are inundated with families that struggle to cope with everyday life. Even the most experienced child protective workers are troubled by the magnitude of the chaos that is their reality. The only way to stop the destruction of these families is to find the answers to these questions. That mission begins with this book. "Protection of children from harm is not just an ethical duty, it is a matter of national survival ... With each childhood that is destroyed, the nation loses a piece of its soul. " U. S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect
