The Youngest Survivors
By: Laura M. Longo, MPF

Too often children who are not living with natural parents are lonely, angry and bewildered. Parents who become victims of drugs, alcohol, child abuse and/or neglect place their children in a downward spiral.

When and if society reaches out to reunite the family, hope becomes apparent. Parents who cooperate and improve their lifestyle will be reunited with their children.

Every State in the United States daily seeks to improve the system by changing what does not work and to learn from those who have succeeded in bringing the family unit together.

These stories are based on true happenings using fictitious names.
