‘I Didn’t Ask to Be Born’ combines personal stories, historical context, and case studies, a multifaceted exploration of what is important.

The central issue raised in 'I Didn't Ask to Be Born' is the disconnection between knowledge and action. Decades of research into childhood trauma and mental health exist, but these insights are too often theoretical and not fully integrated into the system designed to protect and support children. The message in the Book could be viewed as a call to systemic change; for professionals across psychology, education, law and social services to work together to create a more fluid, responsive  framwork that can intervene meaningfully and comprehensively.
Without such reforms, the emotional and psychological needs of children, particularly those suffering from trauma, will continue to be neglected or poorly served with profound long-term consequences for both individuals and the wider society.
The implication is, that while modern psychological theories and child development research have made significant advances, they often remain theoretical and detached from real-world application. These frameworks might exist in academic silos, legal arguments, or institutional policies but fail to penetrate everyday practice in ways that truly benefit children struggling with mental health issues.
