Choose and name a historical child welfare development (a policy, program or initiative) in the U.S. child welfare system that took place in one of the 3 major eras in the history of child protection. State the initiative and era (Child Protection Prior to 1875, Child Protection from 1875 to 1962, the Modern Era) that development occurred and place it in the subject line of the discussion.

Next state whether it was a government or a private/charitable initiative

Then reflect, analyze and explain the events or conditions that spurred the creation of that initiative, program or policy. Explain why the early architects of child welfare programs might have thought children needed this and how did they anticipate the children might fared under this initiative, policy and/or program.

Be sure to cite the reading and describe possible ideas, values, fears and hopes that early pioneers of child welfare policies might have taken into consideration as they sought to build structure into child protection efforts. How might they have imagined their programs and/or policies (specify which ones) would improve the lives of children of the time?
