Direct quote from Richard Wexler, Executive Director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, www.nccpr.org
The foster system holds perhaps the greatest power a state can exercise over its people: the power to forcibly take children away from parents and permanently sever parent-child relationships.
And if you’re not reading this in New York City, you should do even more checking when your own family policing agency puts out a statement. Because New York City really is one of the least bad child welfare systems in the country (mostly not thanks to David Hansell). Wherever you are, it’s probably worse.
The agency regularly cherry-picks data to disguise the fact that, under Hansell’s leadership, ACS has retreated from reform and subjected more children to the enormous trauma of needless foster care.
