It's impossible for the parents, the way the ALA sets up the game. Look, which ALA article should the parent follow about the baby in Pampers rape book? It's like two ALA's in one!

"Push by Sapphire This book by sapphire is an excellent book for anyone not just teens. Although it does have some vulgar language the book has an overall great storyline and alot of different life lessons. The girl in the book is physically, emotionally, and mentally affected. She has been molested by both her mother and father, and is now bearing her fathers second child. She continues in school while her mother also physically abuses her because she is upset about her husband leaveing her bed to go sleep with thier daughter. The book is great!! crystal p." Good for children Push

"Sapphire. Push. 1996. Knopf, $20 (0-679-44626-5). Gr. 11 and up. Untrained, uneducated, and pregnant by her father, Claireece Precious Jones has nowhere to turn until Ms. Blue encourages her to read and write down everything in a journal. As her writing becomes more accessible, she gains confidence in herself. A graphic, poignant novel, best suited to mature readers." Bad for children Push

And the ALA is supposed to be an authority and gets to blame parents for not reading the books first?

Here is actually text from "Push":

“..knowing a man can put his dick in you , gush white stuff in your booty you could get pregnant. I’m 12 now, I been knowing about that since I was 5 or 6.. always known about pussy and dick.”

“..felt her mother’s hand between her thighs.. felt her mother’s.. fingers.. knew by the smell in the room her mother’s hand was between her own legs.. hand inched up P’s thighs into the wet opening of her vagina.”

“..am choking between [mom’s] legs A HUH HUH. She is smelling big woman smell. She say suck it, lick me.. her hand like a mountain pushing my head down.”

“My clit swell up I think daddy. [he] sick me, disgust me, but still he sex me up ..nawshus.. stomach but hot tight in my twat.. want it back, the smell of the bedroom, the hurt.. pump my pussy in out in out in out awww I come. he bite me hard.. slam his hips into me HARD. I scream in pain he come.. slap my thighs.. Orgasm in me, his body shaking.. call me Fat Mama, Big Hole! You LOVE it! say you love it!.. wanna say I DON’T.. I’m a chile. But my pussy popping like grease in a frying pan. he slam in me again. His dick soft. he start sucking my tittie… wait for him to get off me.. stare at wall.. then my body take me over again, like shocks after earthquake, shiver me, I come again. My body not mine. I hate it coming.. go bafroom.. smear shit on my face. Feel good. Don’t know why but it do.

“..girl have her father’s dick in her mouth know things the other girls don’t know..”

Social worker comes to talk to her mother about the sexual abuse: “I wake up at night, morning he not wif me, I know he in there wif her. When did it first start? I don’ know.. am good mother.. [he] jus’ a high natured man.. She still little.. around 3 maybe. I give her bottle.. got milk in my bress but from [boyfriend] sucking. I give him tittie. [daughter] bottle.. bottle her, tittie him.. never get dried up ‘cause [he] always on me.. we in bed.. her on one side.. [him] on other side.. [he] got my tittie in his mouf.. natural.. I hot. he sucking my tittie.. he getting hard.. climb on me.. Then he reach over to [child]. Start wif his finger between her legs.. he say.. This is good for her.. git off me, take off her Pampers and try to stick his thing in.. trip me out.. it can almost go in.. freak baby.. I say stop.. I want him on me!.. Sex me up, not my chile.. cain’t blame all that shit happen to [her] on me… he her daddy, but he was my man!…. I hate Mama, she ain’ shit.”

The gushing review you cited is user submitted. I certainly wouldn't make a decision on what my teen was going to read based on what some anonymous person posted on Amazon. The one that actually IS a product of ALA is the one that is far more cautious.

I would probably consider that book to be appropriate for very mature teenagers, and probably useful for one who was recovering from an abusive homelife. But that's just a preliminary decision based on those two blurbs, one of which could have been posted by the man who kidnapped the two boys in Missouri for all anybody can tell.
