Cultural critic Lucia Hodgson examines the contradictory and even harmful responses Americans give when faced with the issues that most dramatically affect children's lives. Stripping away the hype surrounding such cases as the Menendez brothers, Baby Jessica, and Susan Smith's murder of her children, Hodgson reveals America's self-deception about children's realities, and shows that the more we focus on individual cases of deviation, the more we overlook the systemic causes of the problem.
