When I brought up the issue of the mother-child custody trial, I was not
seeking out a discussion on sex education or jurisprudence.
I am saying that the child welfare system in Minneapolis as elsewhere in the
U.S. is not geared very well to the welfare of children. The media generally
latch on to only the most startling of the instances. Lots of kids pay the
price.
I would really like to know if any folks on the list have EXPERIENCES with
Hennepin County Courts, probation, Youth Coordinating Board, parks, health
care, youth sports etc. that might be a basis for thinking about how we can
do better by the neediest kids.
