Blog of the Week(end): Guardian ad What?

By Anne Skove, Esq.

This week's pick is a reality check in blog form: Guardian ad What?

No sepia-toned, feel-good froth here. Rather, it's a real look at a real GAL with real cases.

Why do babies have babies? Cutting diagnosis of issues that only a magic bubble can possibly solve. How can you volunteer? Also a nice and short (yet useful) links section.

The subhead for this blog is "child advocacy law from the trenches." This is the best trench-eye view we've encountered.

The sub-subhead is "protecting children is cool." Certainly is!
