Today's world creates challenges that are overwhelming for so many kids
and their families. Living without the necessary supports and sometimes
the basics forces kids to go out and seek what they believe they need to
survive. Many have become throwaway s and move to the streets and the
underbelly of our society. As a society, we often assume that they have
behavior disorders or have escaped their homes and just for a thrill.
Yet for many of these kids, it is a choice between surviving or being
abused, neglected, or killed at the hands of a supposedly trusted adult.
This book is a real portrait of their struggles, their challenges, and
their victories. Children in Crisis is a resource to build awareness,
understanding, and solutions for educators, parents, and anyone working
with children and adolescents.
