New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services should protect children without putting families at risk, and it seems like what everyone would expect they fail. the NY times stated that “For decades, Black families have complained that the city’s child welfare agency, the Administration for Children’s Services, is biased against them”. Which is mind blowing to me especially since what has gone on in the past and how far we’ve come as a nation. and It turns out that most of the employees agree. there was a survey done of all the agency’s employees and the results were more than 50 Black and Hispanic frontline caseworkers and agency managers in Brooklyn and the Bronx, along with many parents and advocates, described a “predatory system that specifically targets Black and brown parents” and subjects them to “a different level of scrutiny. Which is insane at some point the system needs to be fixed and apparently deracialized, because if the system was able to get fixed and deracialized more families would let them in to help and the agents could do more good then what the do now, harm the family
