Italian
families complain about the blunt, aggressive way in which some
social workers burst into their homes and upset the usual nature
of their lives, undressing children, giving orders not to eat
this or that, not to wrap up babies in swaddling clothes and so
forth. The mother of five and six children may be inclined to
think with some reason that she knows a little more about how
to bring up children than the young looking damsel who insists
upon trying to do it.
