In the 1950s, there was no Child Protective Services. I remember being on the train in New York and seeing a sign: Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. What about children? I wondered. What about me?
the irony, protect animals but not children. but, on the other hand, i think they saw children as belonging to parents, the family...when is there too much involvement ocer the lives of others? there are however, situations where there is always outside intervention necessary...always extreme, "how could this even be concieveable" to have happened?
