| | Juvenile Court Journal: Taking a tangled path home |
 | | Smith is typical of the addicts whose fractured lives child welfare agencies such as Allegheny County's Office of Children, Youth and Families try to mend for the sake of the children. |
 | | Tangela Smith cradles her youngest daughter, Mooky, 1, in her arms as she reads a Mother's Day card made for her by her oldest daughter, Tay, 11, during a visit with her children supervised by child welfare caseworkers in April of 1999. |
 | | Despite the modeling Smith received, she managed to give love and nurturing to her first two surviving children, Tay and Jay, both born before she was 20 and before she picked up a crack pipe. |
