Children’s Rights is a national non-profit organization that uses relentless, strategic advocacy and legal action to prevent harm to children. Tennessee is one of the many places across America where Children’s Rights has had lasting impact. In 1998, vulnerable children were placed in institutions, and shuttled around, many in 10 or more placements. They suffered trauma unnecessarily. This is the story of how one of the worst child care systems in the country become one of the best, demonstrating what can happen when tenacious legal advocates sit down together with public officials committed to doing the right thing.
