As a previous foster parent and one who has experienced the untruthful dealings of our local Children's Protective Services, I can't recommend this book enough. As another review noted - I used to think that all parents (or at least the majority of them) involved with CPS were guilty of at least something. Experience has taught me that this is so far from the truth. These type of books should be given to all parents in the hospital as they are leaving w/ their newborns. Think it can't happen to you because you're not abusing your children? Read on and realize that the majority of cases where children are taken from their parents are not due to a criminal abuse issue. SO VERY SAD.
