The Complaint filed by the Family Justice Law Center , the New York University School of Law Family Defense Clinic and two private law firms – especially the introductory section – reads like great journalism. But typically, they aim to fix poor conditions for children living in fostercare. So I reprinted that part, in full.
We have forced millions into fostercare where the rate of abuse is, in fact, vastly higher than in the general population and, independent studies show , vastly higher than agencies admit in official figures. This provision of law has never been enforced and is almost universally ignored. And did it make children safer?
Anna Arons of New York University School of Law. She raises her children with love and care even though she is herself a victim of domesticviolence. Still more evidence that there was no pandemic can be found in a landmark study from New York City by Prof. She recently discussed her findings.
Other experts on childhood trauma, such as renowned researcher Dr. Bruce Perry and University of New Hampshire professor David Finkelhor, agreed. Because that’s what the adverse childhood experience of a child abuse investigation is really all about (except, of course, the toxic environment would be fostercare, not a carcinogen factory).

My previous and future work involves working with some of the most vulnerable members of our society -- that work being with LGBTQIA+ youth, and victims and survivors of domesticviolence. Like Frank Carollo, I hope to give back to the UConn community in similar ways in the future.
Bad journalism by the Miami Herald set off a foster-care panic in Florida. The Western New England Law Review has a superb summary of the research showing the enormous harm to children caused when they are taken from domesticviolence survivors. The article interweaves compelling case examples and a mass of research.
In September, Princeton University Press will publish Prof. In San Diego, Arabella McCormack and her sisters were taken from their mother not because she abused them, but because they witnessed domesticviolence. They were placed with foster parents who adopted them. It’s not just books. That’s where Arabella died.

Spectrum News reports on real solutions offered by the Maine Coalition to End DomesticViolence. ? Last week I highlighted a law review article by Prof.
We can do that because we have actual evidence that, in the overwhelming majority of cases, family preservation is not only more humane than fostercare or massive surveillance, it’s also safer.

Fong asks in a commentary for the Hartford Courant if the head of the state’s family police agency will make sure there’s no foster-care panic.
