When a child-abuse scandal is uncovered at an unlicenced daycare in small-town Saskatchewan, it polarizes the community. Frann Harris, a rookie court reporter assigned to the trial the longest in Saskatchewan history starts to wonder if the scope of the alleged crimes is dwarfed by something even more startling: a botched police investigation and inappropriate courtroom procedures. Harris' narrative alternates between the stories of child sexual abuse and whimsical recollections of her own childhood, using the odd touch of humour. Because the unfamiliar courtroom jargon sounds like a foreign language to her and to most readers, she translates it into plain English, and simplifies and demystifies elaborate and stylized courtroom procedures. Harris takes the reader into the courtroom, recreating the trial in all its complexities: the painful allegations of the children and their parents; the daily parry-and-thrust of lawyers trying to discredit both the police investigation and the testimony of the victims; and the contradictory testimony of psychologists and medical experts. Harris also goes outside the courtroom, interviewing witnesses and eavesdropping on the conversations of the accused, the police, neighbours and journalists. The verdicts in the Martensville case were and still are hotly contested. We may never know what really happened at the daycare, but in Martensville: Truth or Justice? The Story of the Martensville Daycare Trials, we can learn the intricacies of the investigation and the trial, and decide for ourselves whether justice was served.

Award-winning journalists Hubner and Wolfson offer a pathbreaking investigation of the family court system where over two and a half million cases are decided every year, through this examination of the day-to-day workings and life-and-death decisions in one typical family court system in Santa Clara County, California. A sunbelt boomtown, urban slum, and rural paradise all combined, Santa Clara mirrors the problems of most American cities, making it the perfect model for this insightful and often harrowing chronicle which provides an intimate look at the lives of the children whose fate the court decides. This powerful book tells the personal stories of a battle between biological and adoptive parents for the right to raise a baby born drug-addicted; an eight-year-old caught in his parents' bitter divorce; and a teenage mother raising her children in a neighborhood ruled by gangs. Throughout there are the hundreds of caseworkers, judges, and social workers struggling in the trenches, trying to make the system work, trying to protect the children forgotten by society. Clearly and engagingly written, Somebody Else's Children offers rare insight into the state of the American family today. "Powerful...A gut-wrenching book. The portraits are etched in acid. While it may not be the kind of book all of us want to read, it certainly is the kind we should."--"Washington Post

The shocking true story of corrupt judges who made millions by sending children to a private juvenile detention facility: “A harrowing tale, lucidly told” (The New York Times Book Review). In this sensational work of true crime that reads like a thriller, Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter William Ecenbarger exposes a long-running scandal that ruined thousands of young lives. In Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan were doing big business in juvenile court. From 2003 to 2008, they received millions of dollars in kickbacks from a private detention facility that needed a steady stream of inmates. Many of the children caught in this scheme were first-time offenders. Many received only cursory hearings without legal counsel. Some were as young as eleven years old. When it was first released, Kids for Cash brought the story to national attention, where it has stayed ever since. As the Philadelphia Inquirer pointed out, this is the “worst stain on Pennsylvania, a state with more than its share of stains . . . Bill Ecenbarger offers a detail-packed, sickening account of the scandal and its impact. Anyone caring about courts, justice or children should read it.” “Heartbreakingly shows justice gone bad.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Shocking.” —Library Journal
