THE STORY: In FINAL PLACEMENT (written by Ara Watson), the scene is the Tulsa office of a child welfare caseworker. A mother guilty of child abuse is intent on regaining the custody of her son, even though he has been put up for adoption by the courts. Despite her poverty and ignorance she displays a touching eloquence—and a disquieting menace—as she attempts to stave off the inevitable.
