The State of It is a powerful and important book that has left a lasting impact on its readers. Written by campaigner and care home consultant Chris Wild, the book explores the low standards and frequent abuse of children in care, highlighting the urgent need for change.
Chris delves deep into the lives of care home kids, sharing their experiences with county lines, drugs, trafficking, knife crime, gang violence, and child exploitation and sexual abuse. Through his own experiences of growing up in care, he tells the stories of the voiceless children who have been left behind, adding a personal touch to the narrative.
The book raises critical questions about the care system and its failure to support and empower young people. It explores the ways in which the care system controls who and what children can become, limiting their opportunities and potential. It also questions the help that is given to children after their time in care, leaving them to fend for themselves and often facing significant challenges.
The State of It is an urgent and critical book that will be the most important one you read this year. It sheds light on the hidden realities of care home life and highlights the urgent need for reform and improvement. By raising awareness and promoting change, the book can help to ensure that children in care receive the support and care they deserve, enabling them to thrive and reach their full potential.
