"When the Welfare People Come" available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “[An] excellent overview of the child welfare system . . . Most importantly, [the author] provides a discussion of how to create true change.” —Tina Lee, author of Catching a Case: Inequality and Fear in New York City's Child Welfare System A groundbreaking look at the history and politics of the American child welfare system, “When the Welfare People Come” exposes the system in its totality, from child protective investigation to foster care and mandated services, arguing that it constitutes a mechanism of control exerted over poor and working class parents and children. Applying the Marxist framework of social reproduction theory to the child welfare system, the author, an attorney who has practiced in the area of child welfare for more than twenty years, reveals the system’s role in the regulation of family life under capitalism. “This book’s description and analysis of child welfare is terrific. Though I’ve worked in the field of child welfare for four decades, I learned not only new information but also found new, resonant analyses.” —David Tobis, PhD, Author of From Pariahs to Partners: How Parents and Their Allies Changed New York City’s Child Welfare System

Download and read online ebook The Child Welfare Challenge write by Peter J. Pecora. This book was released on 2012-01-31. The Child Welfare Challenge available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Within a historical and contemporary context, this book examines major policy practice and research issues as they jointly shape child welfare practice and its future. In addition to describing the major problems facing the field, the book highlights service innovations that have been developed in recent years. The resulting picture is encouraging, especially if certain major program reforms I are implemented and agencies are able to concentrate resources in a focused manner. The volume emphasizes families and children whose primary recourse to services has been through publicly funded child welfare agencies. The book considers historical areas of service—foster care and adoptions, in-home family-centered services, child-protective services, and residential services—where social work has an important role. Authors address the many fields of practice in which child and family services are provided or that involve substantial numbers of social work programs, such as services to adolescent parents, child mental health, education, and juvenile justice agencies. This new edition will continue to serve as a fundamental introduction for new practitioners, as well as summary of recent developments for experienced practitioners.

Download and read online ebook No Way to Treat a Child write by Naomi Schaefer Riley. This book was released on 2021-10-05. No Way to Treat a Child available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Kids in danger are treated instrumentally to promote the rehabilitation of their parents, the welfare of their communities, and the social justice of their race and tribe—all with the inevitable result that their most precious developmental years are lost in bureaucratic and judicial red tape. It is time to stop letting efforts to fix the child welfare system get derailed by activists who are concerned with race-matching, blood ties, and the abstract demands of social justice, and start asking the most important question: Where are the emotionally and financially stable, loving, and permanent homes where these kids can thrive? “Naomi Riley’s book reveals the extent to which abused and abandoned children are often injured by their government rescuers. It is a must-read for those seeking solutions to this national crisis.” —Robert L. Woodson, Sr., civil rights leader and president of the Woodson Center “Everyone interested in child welfare should grapple with Naomi Riley’s powerful evidence that the current system ill-serves the safety and well-being of vulnerable kids.” —Walter Olson, senior fellow, Cato Institute, Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies
