The Pampered Child Syndrome - How to Recognize It, How to Manage It, and How to Avoid It

The first time Sam Consiglio assaulted a woman, he was 13-years-old. He would grab women by the breasts and run. When caught, he promised the police and his father he would never do that again. It’s probably the one promise Sam made to anyone that he actually kept. For over 25 years, Sam preyed upon unsuspecting women from Michigan to Florida to California. Using his wit and charming personality, he gained their confidence and trust before turning violent whenever he needed to satisfy his sexual urges. With almost every arrest, Sam was able to beat the police and the prosecutors as they tried in vein, to have him incarcerated. And with each failure of the courts to keep him behind bars, Sam grew more confident that no one could ever keep him locked up. Now, Sam is on trial in California for two separate sexual assaults on women. Confident he can prove his innocence, Sam manipulates the system, proving to be a formidable adversary for even the most seasoned prosecutor.

This is the true story of a sociopath who masterfully made a mockery of the judicial system as he lived among us as a sexual predator.

A third of America's children grow up in poverty. Social service workers intervene in family crises to help repair emotional damage, but often exacerbate that damage. Why does poverty continue to be a plague in twenty-first-century America? Why do social service agencies fail in their mission to bring succor to needy families? How did we get to this point? These are questions explored by Attorney Susan G. Neisuler, a lawyer with ten years' experience in the Juvenile Court of Boston. The author draws on her personal courtroom encounters with the Department of Social Services and the juvenile justice system. Here the reader will find case analysis, related case law, results of relevant research and proposed solutions. In Justice at the City Gate, Attorney Neisuler has written a treatise in the best muckraking tradition.
