Book Review of The Child Catcher

"The Child Catcher: A Fight for Justice and Truth" is a touching and true story written by Andrew Bridges. The story is based on the author's personal experiences while fighting for children's rights at different stages of his life.

Previously, the author wrote a memoir called "Hope's Boy" in which he told about his life with his mother. In this book, he describes a government facility called McLaren Hall where he was taken at the age of six. McLaren Hall, a former polio hospital, was converted into an orphanage that housed more than 300 children. The place was known to be a chaotic and violent campus.

Andrew Bridges began his career after graduating from Harvard Law School and continued his fight for children's rights. He began his fight for children's rights at the Eufala Adolescent Center located in a rural area of Alabama. This center was similar to McLaren Hall, where violence and abuse against children were common.

The author has written this book for the thousands of children who were kept in these facilities, and whose stories he had the opportunity to hear and understand.

The first chapter of the book describes an incident one night when a fight breaks out between boys in a ward of the Eufaula Center. Following this incident, a boy named David was put in an isolation ward. Through this scene, the author exposes the horror that these children face every day.
