The National Coalition for Child Protection Reform works to change America's approach to #childabuse, #childwelfare, #fostercare Also @nccpr.bsky.social
So @AP, glad you're promoting this great journalism from @_sallyho Too bad the last line says she's "a *former* Associated Press reporter." A big loss for the journalism of #childwelfare
Thriving on taxpayer money, for-profit facilities that care for adoptees face limited oversight. One mother who says her son was bullied and sexually assaulted wrote to the agency that funded his stay: “The almighty dollar will prevail once again.” https://t.co/vEJkh0PXTg

When #childwelfare establishment types minimize the inherent trauma of being torn from one’s family by saying “#fostercare isn’t perfect, but…” it rubs salt in the wounds of the traumatized https://t.co/BcGoMJJAnK #childabuse
A tsunami of children’s suffering, when they are wrongly cast into #fostercare is routinely dismissed by the #childwelfare establishment and its enablers in politics and journalism. A story in The @NewYorker brings some of it to light: https://t.co/BcGoMJJAnK #childabuse
A mountain of research tells us children in #fostercare are more likely to suffer serious illness & die prematurely than even comparably-maltreated children left in their own homes. That’s only the beginning of their suffering: https://t.co/BcGoMJJAnK #childwelfare#childabuse
What happens when the family police and their enablers in politics and journalism treat impoverished children and their families as sub-human? A story in The @NewYorker has some answers. https://t.co/BcGoMJJAnK #fostercare#childwelfare#childabuse
ICYMI: NCCPR #childwelfare Blog: There’s a group that’s been selling states on a parallel hidden system that amounts to sugar frosted #fostercare. But, thanks to the state’s highest court, New York won’t be buying it https://t.co/jgm89kZR7q #childabuse
ICYMI: NCCPR #childwelfare Blog: NY’s highest court slays what 1 critic called “a hydra-headed quasi-#fostercare monster, with all of the hallmarks of foster care but none of the legal protections the law demands.” https://t.co/jgm89kZR7q #childabuse
ICYMI: NCCPR in @CTMirror: Once on the verge of being one of the least bad #childwelfare systems in America. But here’s why @CTDCF is slouching back toward mediocrity https://t.co/rLbwfxDtot #fostercare#childabuse
In order to justify an emergency removal of a child, the danger is supposed to be “so immediate, so urgent that the child’s life or safety will be at risk.” Despite this, in the past few years, New York’s child-welfare agency has taken around 1,400 children annually on an emergency basis, many of whose cases involve no allegations of abuse. https://t.co/ctWUXa2AL6
A federal lawsuit accuses child welfare officials of routinely separating children and parents through abrupt removals mischaracterized as emergencies and executed without court orders.

A federal appeals court has revived a suit by a father who alleges New York City's child welfare agency violated his family’s constitutional rights.

NCCPR in @CTMirror: While #fostercare entries have declined nationwide, they’ve shot up in Connecticut. That’s why their #childwelfare system has gotten so much worse: https://t.co/rLbwfxDtot #childabuse
