In the modern era, where technology and globalization shape our lives, child safety goes beyond traditional physical dangers. We now face intangible threats that permeate globalized communication platforms, threatening not only the bodies, but also the minds and souls of our children. It is imperative that we be alert to these camouflaged dangers that surround our little ones. Our children are not only subject to falls and scratches; they are exposed to malicious predators who aim to distort their perceptions of the world and cause emotional and psychological harm. In the naivety of youth, they do not have the mechanisms to protect themselves from unscrupulous adults who exploit their innocence. As guardians of our children, it is our responsibility to know the threats brought by modernity and combat their harmful effects. Every effective strategy begins with clarified and updated knowledge. We must be well informed about the tactics and methods used by predators to better protect our little ones. Ignoring the latent and silent danger that threatens the integrity of our children is not an option. We need to become increasingly specialized to understand how these evil agents operate and how we can protect our children from their harm. Parents, educators, caregivers and everyone who cares about children's well-being must prioritize actions that close all the loopholes through which evildoers try to infiltrate. It is our duty to ensure that our children grow up in a safe environment, protected from negative influences that could compromise their healthy and happy development. This is a commitment that cannot be underestimated, as the future of our treasures is at stake.

Winner of the 2018 Arthur J. Viseltear Award from the Medical Care Section of the American Public Health Association​ Children and Drug Safety traces the development, use, and marketing of drugs for children in the twentieth century, a history that sits at the interface of the state, business, health care providers, parents, and children. This book illuminates the historical dimension of a clinical and policy issue with great contemporary significance—many of the drugs administered to children today have never been tested for safety and efficacy in the pediatric population. Each chapter of Children and Drug Safety engages with major turning points in pediatric drug development; themes of children’s risk, rights, protection and the evolving context of childhood; child-rearing; and family life in ways freighted with nuances of race, class, and gender. Cynthia A. Connolly charts the numerous attempts by Congress, the Food and Drug Administration, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and leading pediatric pharmacologists, scientists, clinicians, and parents to address a situation that all found untenable.

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This open access book explores how children, parents, and survivors reshaped the politics of child protection in late twentieth-century England. Activism by these groups, often manifested in small voluntary organisations, drew upon and constructed an expertise grounded in experience and emotion that supported, challenged, and subverted medical, social work, legal, and political authority. New forms of experiential and emotional expertise were manifested in politics – through consultation, voting, and lobbying – but also in the reshaping of everyday life, and in new partnerships formed between voluntary spokespeople and media. While becoming subjects of, and agents in, child protection politics over the late twentieth century, children, parents, and survivors also faced barriers to enacting change, and the book traces how long-standing structural hierarchies, particularly around gender and age, mediated and inhibited the realisation of experiential and emotional expertise.
