Children in Crisis.
Maynard, Robert
Educational Leadership, v46 n8 p71 May 1989
Comments on Tawana Brawley, a Black teenager who ran away mentally to escape the violence she feared from her mother's boyfriend. Other "throwaway" children prefer life in the streets to being beaten, sexually molested, or psychologically abused in their own homes. Tawana's self-mutilation may have resulted from such fear.
