Abstract

Recently, the Anne E Casey Foundation announced a ‘first-of-its kind partnership’ between the US Children’s Bureau, Casey Family Programs and Prevent Child Abuse America (http://www aecf org) Each paper has a different focus – social origins (Ainsworth), legal disadvantage (Harrison et al ) and service delivery (Bennett et al ) – but all tell a similar story about how parental poverty makes dealing with child protection authorities an impossible task The second part of this issue contains all remaining articles Because this is the final issue of Children Australia, we have ‘cleared the books’ and this issue of the journal has a higher than usual volume of papers In conducting their analysis, the authors test the relevance of Ambiguous Loss Theory in understanding how removal from families of origin and placement experiences may affect young people and lead to ‘wanted’ pregnancies
