Book excerpt: "Although intended to protect the children, the very act of separating very young children from their parents and familiar caregivers can put those children at greater risk of developmental delays. The importance of quickly finding a permanent placement, especially for infants, cannot be overstated." "In Infants in the Child Welfare System, Brenda Jones Harden presents a detailed examination of the dangers faced when very young children are unable to bond with a safe, dependable caregiver.
