Here’s how that most sacred cow in child welfare, Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), works:  Overwhelmingly white middle-class volunteers are…Read Article

Race, class and child welfare: AEI gets it wrong again

All you have to do is clear the bar!"The American Enterprise Institute is the right-wing think tank that is the longtime home of Charles Murray, author of the notorious exercise in what the Southern Policy Law Center aptly call…United States · United StatesRead Article

NCCPR in Rhode Island Current: Wrongful removal leads to child abuse tragedies, artificial ‘shortage’ of foster parents

Last week saw the publication of two assessments of what’s wrong with child welfare in Rhode Island. Both missed the point.  On May 12, Kayla David, a vice president of a foster care agency, wrote a commentary for Rhode Island Current suggesting foster parents need more support in order to improve recruitment and retention because, she said, there’s a shortage of such parents.  The next day the state’s “Child Advocate” released a report that inc…Providence, Rhode Island · ProvidenceRead Article

NCCPR in the New York Daily News: How the Daily News changed NYC’s child welfare

A half century ago today, child welfare reform began when the Daily News stunned the city with the first installment of a six-part series about the system by reporters William Heffernan and Stewart Ain, headlined “Big Money, Little Victims.” Then as now, New York City has a harmful child welfare system.
