Abstract
The theme of this Conference is All Care and No Responsibility while the title assigned to this paper is All Responsibility and No Care. Consistent with what I understand to be the focus of this title, the paper will examine various aspects of the system of governmental and no governmental care for the child deemed to be in need of some protective care from the state. The paper will concentrate on the present arrangements for admitting a child to wardship and consider possible alternatives to wardship and alternatives to institutional care for wards.
