The children in this study were rescued from neglected, abusive or dangerous situations and committed to care, but in the process were criminalized and incarcerated in industrial schools until they turned sixteen. Using letters from the children, their parents and correspondence from the authorities, the author focuses on the children's experiences of their removal. We hear first-hand how children growing up in a controlled environment learnt how to navigate their way through the tough regimes of the institutions and resisted authority. The author shows how attitudes towards children in care were dominated by the belief that removing contact with their parents was essential in order to avoid repeating a negative history. A wholly new life was needed for a healthy and secure social development. At the heart of this new life was a future in domestic service. However, here children also faced stigma from employers and authorities. Skinner positions the voice of the child at the forefront of her study by offering close readings of children's letters, taken from source. And so she allows us to see the impact of such policies on lives, their isolation as a result of removal and their search for identity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Reformatories $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Trade schools $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Child welfare $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Child welfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854709 650 7 $a Reformatories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092581 650 7 $a Trade schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153858 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Skinner, A.
