Description
In an age plagued by drastic governmental cut-backs on social programs -- a time in which women and children are by far the most numerous victims of poverty -- the fate of foster children is an important, if painful, subject. Toth's report from the frontlines of what is known as "substitute care" is not encouraging as she follows the lives of five young people moving through the system.
