The parent/child relationship is a sacred bond. Yet some parents break that bond, harming the very ones who depend on them the most for love, care, and support. This program scrutinizes the self-sacrificing work of a Los Angeles County emergency social worker who walks the fine line between intervention and intrusion as she attempts to establish whether children have been abused. In addition, the case of a two-year-old, allegedly beaten to death by his father’s girlfriend, is presented. Produced by CBS NEWS. (43 minutes)
