War Orphan
Following the defeat of WWII, while many Japanese racially mixed babies were abondoned by their parents, Miki Sawada dedicated her life to take care of the orphans.
With many American military servicemen residing in Japan to help rebuild the country, unwanted pregnancies between American men and Japanese women were not unusual. However, racially mixed children, particularly of American decent, were viewed as shameful. A culture of shame created an extraordinary influence on Japanese society to marginalize these orphans.

Child protection social workers
Baby Peter’s killers were sentenced a year ago. The howls of criticism can still be heard. So who would be a child protection social worker now? Answer – thousands, all over Britain. They gamely carry on facing the daily dilemma of whether or not to trust the parents in dysfunctional families. Or should they take the other risk of removing the child and hope that as the legal process grinds through, care will be available and provide more secure support for them.
It’s a difficult challenge, and one few of us might face in a lifetime. Yet the referral and assessment team in Coventry gets around 40 calls every day about children reported to be at risk. Each one needs to be explored and evaluated, and a decision taken about whether to intervene. Strangely, many of the calls prove to be malicious hoaxes. Read the rest of this entry »

Homelessness
In 2005, an estimated 744,313 men, women, and children were homeless in the United States (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2007). The Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 defines people as homeless when they lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence or when their primary residence is a temporary place for people about to be institutionalized, any place not meant for regular sleeping accommodation by humans, or a supervised temporary shelter. There is no one typical homeless individual. Those who lack stable housing live in a variety of settings, both urban and rural, are a range of ages, face an array of health issues, arrived at this position for a variety of reasons, and require an assortment of social work services.
