I was in a courtroom full of men with pale, stern looks. I saw a child brought in ... at the sight of which men wept aloud. And as I watched, I knew I was where the first chapter of childrens rights was written. This was written in 1874 about a 9 year old girl who had been removed from her guardians. Ironically, it was the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to ANIMALS who stepped up to rescue this child because at that time no agencies existed to assist abused children. It took another 25 years for the juvenile court to come into existence.
