Any Other Night by Anne Pfeffer

The United States was the worst among developed countries in per-capita child abuse and neglect in 2014. This unconscionable reality is about to get far worse as the income/education gap widens here in our country. Learn the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunites for improvement and major change in our current child welfare system.

While the author's own story of childhood abuse has a happy ending, many victims do not. This can change, and you can make all the difference, one child at time.

With the help of social workers, psychologists, and other high-ranking professionals, Babin presents current, factual data about the state of abused and neglected children at both the state and country levels-including devastating statistics that many of us would rather not hear but that are necessary to learn if we have any hope of enacting positive change.

It Shouldn't Hurt to Be a Child provides teachers, doctors, and other advocates for child welfare valuable info, as well as possible solutions for breaking the seemingly endless cycles of abuse.
