1. 1. The Lost Children Of Wilder

   The Epic Struggle to Change Foster Care

   

   An investigative narrative tracing a landmark class-action lawsuit against New York City’s foster care system, it interweaves courtroom battles with the intimate story of a teenage girl and her child as they are shuttled through group homes and institutions. The book reveals how sectarian agency control, public funding, and bureaucratic inertia entrenched racial and religious inequities, producing neglect and abuse despite reform efforts, and shows how even a hard-won consent decree yielded mixed, often heartbreaking results for the very children it sought to protect.
