- Synopsis
- Thirteen-year-old Ryan Delaney prefers living in a fantasy world. But why would Ryan spend all his time pretending to have a different life? Does the Delaney apartment hold the secret behind Ryan's fantasies? Ryan's friend Will discovers Ryan's dark secret--but what should Will do next? Unfortunately, many young people in our society today live in difficult, unhealthy, and even dangerous circumstances. Not all children are lucky enough to be born into loving families. Not all families are fortunate enough to have the ability to keep their children healthy and safe. Sometimes, young people need protection from things like abuse, neglect, and criminal activities. Thankfully, there are places where young people can turn for this type of help. In Somebody Hear Me Crying: Youth in Protective Services, you will learn about the history, current features, and future possibilities of child protective services. The book's information will help you understand the difficult topic of child abuse and the services available to protect abused children. As you follow Ryan's story, you will learn about the special challenges youth in protective services face and the important role these services play in maintaining the health of our children and society.
