Ok, for those of you with netflix streaming as an option.... We just watched a very interesting documentary about a family in W. Virginia titled "The wild and wonderful Whites of W. Virginia. Do NOT watch this program if you are the least bit squeamish about graphic violence, nudity, extremely vulgar language, the use of illegal drugs and other socially unacceptable behaviors. The program covers the real life experiences of five generations of the "White" family in W.V. Everything from the celebration of "grandma" 85th birthday with family all around, and a pictorial history of grampa (long since deceased) and his amazing dance steps to picking up family members from prison and graphic photos of the killings that landed them there. It portrays kids being raised in a, shall we say, less than savory environment, The joys of births, and the grim reality of deaths, CPS taking new borns from their mothers and whole host of other of lifes wonders and unpleasantries. Although the White family are from a small mining town in WV this family could be any one of several that I know right here in my own county in Ky. They are good folks who love their children and family ties are very strong but they seem to have a bit of trouble getting their lives together. After watching the program my Yvonne and I began discussing it, and the question came up... if you were a social worker... where would you begin to try to help this family? If some of you have netflix, and the intestinal fortitude to watch it, I thought it might make for an interesting discussion here. Again be forewarned... this program is not for children, and is not pleasant for adults. Its an uncut version of life as it exists for far too many in our country.
