The Caseworker

By J. S. Long

"A mother's love is cheaply bought when she's addicted to heroin." Rien Morrow wanted to help children so she became a caseworker. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she couldn't imagine the depths of human suffering she would witness on the job. Rien had to learn how to adapt to this new career while struggling to understand why the criminal justice system so often failed to protect children. More than 600,000 children are admitted to the hospital for abuse in the United States every year, and this is a low estimate. Millions of cases go unreported. What the statistics fail to show is the depth of human suffering that these victims endure. Inspired by true crimes, The Caseworker goes inside the mind of a rookie CPS worker as she investigates severe cases of child maltreatment and tries to repair the holes in the fabric of society that permit their occurrence. Not for the faint of heart, this book explores the real trauma caused by child victimization. For those brave enough to confront the worst evils in our society, this book will call you into action. J. S. Long is a former caseworker who has been researching and teaching victimology for many years. The author is ready to share the harsh reality of child abuse with a wider audience in this novel. The characters are fictional, but the types of crimes described in this book happen every day in American homes. You have been warned.
