FREE: WHEN A CHILD KILLS (Abused Children Who Kill Their Parents) by Paul Mones ~~True Crime~~

The listing, WHEN A CHILD KILLS (Abused Children Who Kill Their Parents) by Paul Mones ~~True Crime~~ has ended.

Cindy had everything: beauty, intelligence, and a father who lavished her with gifts. But her role as favorite daughter went further than anyone knew--she was a prisoner of incest. She tried to escape by running away, then came the suicide attempt. Finally, one night, she stopped him with a shotgun.

Cases like Cindy's inspired attorney Paul Mones to come to the defense of abused children who kill their parents. In gripping and soul-wrenching detail, WHEN A CHILD KILLS tells Cindy's story and those of seven of the many children Paul Mones has helped in the last decade. Not only do we hear the voices of the children, but of the surviving family members, friends, the police, prosecutors, judges, and jurors. Mones also takes a hard look at our juvenile justice system; at the "safety net" designed to protect children; at the blind eye observers often turn when abuse is evident. By understanding parricide and its causes, Mones believes, we can gain a deeper knowledge of one of our nation's most pervasive social problems: the abuse of its children.
