Reviewed by: RITA J. SIMON** Having studied transracial and transcountry adoptions in a variety of contexts, white families who adopted black or biracial children; white, black Hispanic and Asian families who adopted Korean, Vietnamese, Hispanic and Caucasian children; and most recently Native American children who had been adopted by white and black families, I looked forward to reading this book.

What I found out was truly horrifying. The vast majority of children in CAS care were aboriginal, yet there were no aboriginal citizens on their board of directors (Longclaws was the first and last). CAS had no aboriginal staff, not even aboriginal advisors, and absolutely no education or orientation programs that might explain aboriginal culture, history or lifestyle within the organization. Meanwhile, the doctrine and policies that ruled CAS almost dictated that their workers either take "aboriginal children at risk" into care, or arrange for their adoption. This practice became known as the "60s scoop. Social workers from white, middle-class backgrounds were going into aboriginal communities and applying standards that were irrelevant. CAS workers often judged that a child growing ...

Slavery was a dominant phenomenon of antiquity. Gradually it has declined in the modern world. The blessings of modern moral attitudes and virtues were instrumental for these structural changes. Recently, child trafficking, especially female child trafficking has become a painful reality in Bangladesh. This child trafficking has been occurring internally and also across the border to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and many Middle Eastern countries. The rate of growth of this trafficking has been increasing alarmingly in this country. Every year several hundred (under the age of eighteen) children are being trafficked abroad. These trafficked children are adapting to a new life style which is different from the life style had they lived in their normal (life style which they supposed to follo...

With more than 27,000 Aboriginal children currently in provincial care, solving the issues surrounding Aboriginal adoptions has never been more important. These issues include: the inequality of funding between the First Nations Child Welfare agencies and provincial agencies (which has instigated a Canadian Human Rights Complaint by the Assembly of First Nations and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada), the denial of Aboriginal Identity from Aboriginal adoptees, and the lack of recognition of Aboriginal custom adoptions. This paper focuses on these issues, discusses Supreme Court jurisprudence, as well as how Aboriginal adoptions are currently being dealt with in the provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

After months of collaboration, the RCMP, Toronto Police Services and Microsoft created the blueprint for GETS - the Child Exploitation Tracking System. GETS gives law enforcement the power to work seamlessly across borders and, using the best technological tools available, gives law enforcement a unique advantage in their battle with cyber criminals. In just two years, every provincial Internet child exploitation unit and major municipal police agency that investigates Internet facilitated child sexual exploitation in Canada has adopted GETS. The "made in Canada" innovation has also been adopted globally. In June 2006, Indonesia became the second country in the world to adopt GETS and in October 2006, the United Kingdom's National Criminal Intelligence Service, Spain's Cuerpo Nacional d...

Canadian definitions of learning disabilities (LD) traditionally have varied interprovincially, and the authors have compiled current provincial and territorial policy information related to LD. Special education definitions of LD are summarized, and an overview of funding mechanisms for special education services for students with LD is provided. In the majority of provincial and territorial policies, the concept of LD as a discrepancy between intelligence test scores and achievement has been retained from previous policies as a defining feature. Seven provinces have adopted either the official version or part of the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (2002) LD definition, which characterises LD as a cognitive processing disorder or condition with processing deficits. The use ...
