The big national takeaway is that these data – once again – refute the racist myth about COVID-19 and “child welfare.” The federal government has released state-by-state data for the number of children taken from their parents in FFY 2021 (yes, they always run about a year late).

It seems like a week doesn’t go by without some “child welfare” agency announcing an initiative that supposedly will make family policing kinder and gentler.
