Part II of the Article examines the legal system's response to child protection cases in which maternal abuse and, in some cases, substance abuse are present. This section begins by describing the shifting theories underlying child welfare in this country. It then contrasts these theories with child welfare practice by reporting the results of a study of eighty-five Child in Need of Assistance (CINA) cases in four jurisdictions in Maryland. Although the study examines a limited sample, the cases examined confirm the strong …

Each year over 200,000 children in the United States are abused or neglected by their parents. While many of these children are very young and come from poor families, children of every age and income bracket are victimized. In the early 1960s the federal government took some affirmative action by amending the Social Security Act to provide funds for the states in order to establish comprehensive child welfare services for children receiving substandard care. Until recently the states had done little to help these children. Each state now has laws offering protection and services to abused and neglected children. New …

Torts - Child's Right To Recover For Alienation Of Parent's Affection, Marvin O. Young S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff's parents were divorced in 1934 when plaintiff was five years old. Custody of plaintiff was awarded to her mother, but plaintiff alleged that she received "usual paternal love, affection, maintenance, and support" from her father until 1941, when plaintiff's father took defendant as his mistress, keeping her until his death in 1952. Plaintiff brought this action for damages on the theory that defendant alienated the affections of her father, thereby depriving plaintiff of fatherly affection, guidance and support. Defendant's demurrer was overruled by the trial court. On appeal, held, reversed. In the absence of a statute, a child …
