Description

Vicki Solochek, a longtime caseworker for Child Protective Services in Arizona, reveals a behind-the-scenes look at fighting for children in this account that urges reform. One of her first cases was an about-to-be homeless woman who called in a CPS report on herself because she didn't know what else to do. Linda and her six children met the author in an undesirable part of Phoenix at Motel 6 where they were staying. They were on their last paid night at the motel."Can you please do something?" Linda pleaded. Nothing with CPS was ever easy; not the work, not the people, not the policies, not the outcomes. In this memoir, the author shares her most memorable and haunting cases - many of which stemmed from families abusing alcohol and/or drugs, living in poverty, and coping with mental illness. While we must keep CPS workers accountable when something goes wrong, she argues that we need to make it harder for drug-addicted parents to continue having children and gaming the system. Join the author as she reveals the challenging, frustrating, and sometimes rewarding career of being a case manager dedicated to helping families in Child Forgotten.
