As the housing market crashed, credit markets froze and stock prices fell, the District-based charity SOS Children's Villages watched its donations dwindle. We haven't come to a screeching halt, but we are in a slowdown," said Heather Paul, president of the charity, which runs villages for orphaned and abandoned children in the United States and 169 other countries.
Every year child welfare agencies in the United States receive more than 3 million allegations of child abuse and neglect. Sufficient evidence is collected to substantiate more than 1 million cases annually. Unfortunately, this amounts to approximately one child every 10 seconds being neglected, abused or abandoned in the United States. In addition, three children die every day as a result of neglect or abuse, according to the National Incident Based Recording System.

All children have a right to a home with loving people to care for them. But each year in the United States, millions of children are abused, neglected or abandoned by their families. Millions of children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care or institutions and they end up in court. Their only "crime" is that they have been victims. It's up to a judge to decide their future. Should they remain in foster care? Is it now safe enough for them to be reunited with their parents? Is the situation so desperate that the parental rights must be terminated and the children made available for adoption? In these cases, many children become victims a second time, lost in an overburdened child-welfare system that cannot pay close attention to the special needs of each child. Sometim...

There are about 1.2 million parents incarcerated in federal or state prisons or local jails in the United States. The number of mothers in prison grew 88 percent from 1991 to 2002. While relatively few women who are incarcerated give birth behind bars, about two-thirds of female inmates are mothers of minor children. Most women are in prison for non-violent offenses, many of them drug related. Almost 60 percent of mothers in state prisons lived with their children at the time they entered prison. With few procedures or policies that require or facilitate maintaining relationships between mothers and their children, the criminal justice system often breaks families apart. The majority of incarcerated parents reside more than 100 miles from their homes. While in prison, many mothers only ...
