  • Court‐Ordered Grandparent Visitation

    Theodore J SteinARTICLESocial Service Review2007

    This article explores changes in state laws that allow a grandparent to petition a court for visits with a grandchild, permitting a court to order visits over the objection of a fit parent. Such changes are altering the century‐old rule that fit parents have a right to control the upbringing of their children. The changes allow the state to intervene in family life when intervention is in a child’s best interest, and the state does not have to pr…

    Theodore J SteinARTICLESocial Service Review1996Cited by: 1

The first approach asks, "What is the nexus between the parent…

  • The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act

    Theodore J SteinARTICLESocial Service Review1984Cited by: 9

    Does the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act augment the protection of children? Difficulties in determining whether a condition is maltreatment, underreporting by professionals, reporting of conditions not involving serious risk, and low confirmation rates for reports are not reasons for an affirmative answer. The act sanctions community surveillance of family life, which reduces privacy and autonomy in child rearing. If protection of child…

  • Facilitating Decision Making in Foster Care

    Theodore J Stein, Eileen Gambrill et al.ARTICLESocial Service Review1977Cited by: 13

    Results are reported from a two-year experimental project. The major objective of the project was to increase continuity of care for children in out-of-home placement by involving natural parents in planning and decision making for them. At the end of two years, a significantly greater number of experimental than control children were out, or headed out, of foster care. A number of variables are considered, with a focus as to whether they have ut…
