Mar 30/Minneapolis, MN - The Politics of Childhood: Law and Child Protection in Modern America

Concerns about the well-being of American children prompted protection measures as early as 1874 with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and have continued with the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in 1984, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990, Meagan’s Laws in the 1990s, and the Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000. !ese protections reveal the changing place of children in American social policy and law and are an expression of Americans’ most fundamental hopes and fears about their children and the republic itself.
