Title: Weeping in the playtime of others
Description: "From the summer of 1972 through 1975, Kenneth Wooden visited correctional facilities in thirty states where juveniles between the ages of five and sixteen were being held. During his research he uncovered an astoundingly high incidence of emotional and physical abuse, torture, and commercial exploitation of the children by their keepers, individuals who received public funds to care for them.

After observing the brutal treatment of these youths, a significant number of whom were not criminals but runaways or mentally disabled, Wooden was compelled to make public the conditions in which these children lived in Weeping in the Playtime of Others."--BOOK JACKET.
