Child Protection in America
Author: John E.B. Myers
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 751
Book Description
Child abuse and neglect are tragically common. Each year, more than 1,000 American children die due to maltreatment. Thousands more suffer physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Across the country, every community has a system of government-operated and funded child protective services (CPS). But given that social workers of CPS have the authority to remove children from unsafe parents, it is no surprise that CPS is controversial. Does CPS protect children? Does CPS do more good than harm? Is CPS fundamentally racist, as some critics argue? Should CPS be abolished? To answer these questions, it is essential to understand the origins of child protection in America. How did we arrive at the child protection system in place today? This book traces the history of child protection from colonial times to the present and provides the most in-depth analysis ever published of the origins of child protection.

Pages : 459
Book Description
Blind but able to see auras, Starla Moon's world is anything but dark. Her white hair, ivory skin, and crystal-pink eyes target her for human ridicule. Her ability to communicate silently with animals allows them to guide her without stumbling. She is different, definitely not human. Starla is comfortable living on her animal reserve, tucked quietly into the Idaho Mountains. But 48 hours after her father's death, she finds herself face to face with Victor, a roguish vampire who wants to kill her. Her magical powers ignite, freeing her from his clutches. In a hasty escape, destiny opens the door for Nicolas Angel, her true love, to rescue her. Entering the vampire world she longs to know, Starla must fight to prove her worth amongst the Protectors, who are the super heroes of this magical but perilous realm. Evil in many different forms stalks the land. Finding her courage within, Starla goes into battle, swooping down on a dragon's back, killing the enemy with her wand and leaving the Protectors on the ground marveling at the sight. Pride and strength surge from within her, breaking the bonds of weakness that have kept Starla hidden from her true identity: the first female Protector. Protector's Awakening is book one in The Protectors series, a vampire fantasy epic about finding true love, crusading against evil, and creating family. Tami Blake grew up in Seattle, Washington and currently resides in Jacksonville, Florida. A nurse by profession and lifelong lover of fantasy fiction, she was encouraged to write this book by her husband and sister. When not working or writing, she enjoys knitting and crocheting.

The Count’s Millions
Author: Émile Gaboriau
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329758862
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Émile Gaboriau (November 9, 1832 - September 28, 1873) was a French writer, novelist, journalist, and a pioneer of detective fiction. His first detective novel, Monsieur Lecoq 1869, which featured an amateur detective and a young police officer (Monsieur Lecoq), was a success and the Lecoq was the hero in Gaboriau's 3 later detective novels. The character of Lecoq was based on a real-life thief turned police officer, Eugène François Vidocq (1775-1857), whose own memoirs, Les Vrais Mémoires de Vidocq, mixed fiction and fact. It may also have been influenced by the villainous Monsieur Lecoq, one of the main protagonists of Féval's Les Habits Noirs book series. Gaboriau was a pioneer and a great success in his time until Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes which diverted global attention from his Monsieur Lecoq. The story was produced on the stage in 1872. A long series of novels dealing with the annals of the police court followed, and proved very popular. Gaboriau died in Paris of pulmonary apoplexy.
