publishes Juvenile-Court Standards
and Foster-Home Care for Dependent Children
(Childrens Buraue, 2012)
Description:
Throughout the 1920s, child dependency and protection were topics of great interest for the Children’s Bureau. Increasingly, States recognized that providing institutional care for dependent children was not the answer; instead, resources had to be invested in prevention efforts and social work with families to help children stay in their homes. For those who could not remain at home, there was a growing interest in foster family care.
