ward of the state...a little boys survival by david wsserman

Karlos had nothing left to look forward to and that almost ended his life, but his hope to find a family that loved him kept him alive. This is the story of Karlos Dillard, severely neglected by his mother who often left him and his siblings at home alone for weeks to fend for themselves.

Karlos was told he was not loved, he was not wanted and he was nothing but a ward of the State. 'Ward of the State: A Memoir of Foster Care,' tells what happened to a little black boy from the inner city of Detroit. What is most enticing are the small victories experienced in the story because they give you a break from the horrors of some of the foster homes. Karlos' use of words makes sure that you aren't just reading the book, you are actually engaged. Whether it be hunger, anger, or being sexually violated. A governmental agency may take temporary custody of a minor for his/her protection and care if the child is suffering from parental neglect or abuse, or has been in trouble with the law. Every time Karlos describes the pain he is feeling you will feel the same pain. 1) a person (usually a minor) who has a guardian appointed by the court to care for and take responsibility for that person. Karlos was removed from his mothers care just to end up in foster homes that treated him worse. Enduring severe neglect and abuse, the boy was removed by the State of Michigan and put into foster care.
