Book excerpt: Nicholas Alahverdian had everything going for him -- he was 14 years old, he was working for his state's legislature, and he had aspirations to attend Harvard or Yale. Unfortunately, Rhode Island politics is a blood sport. Since Nicholas was in DCYF foster care due to his abusive parents, he also served as a lens through which he could share with lawmakers the direct impact the state had on its children and adolescents. What Alahverdian found was a broken system immersed in disarray. As a result of his political activism, Nicholas made enemies amongst the bureaucrats in state agencies, the Family Court, and Governor Donald Carcieri himself. Alahverdian began to tell the members of the Senate and House what was happening in the infamous DCYF night-to-night program. He detailed torture and abuse. Alahverdian was later sent to facilities hundreds of miles from home where he could contact no one. Alahverdian's lawsuit, filed in 2011, is now available as an ebook. U.S. District Court Judge John J. McConnell called it "one of the finest written lawsuits -- and you're not even a lawyer!" With a powerful, telling preface, this book is preparatory to Alahverdian's extensive biography, to be released in 2019.
