The Racist Roots of the Child Welfare System | NYCLU

In the child welfare system - better understood as the family regulation system - thousands of mostly Black and Brown families are put under a microscope and threatened with separation, often based on reports that turn out to be baseless. The forcible separation of Black families has deep roots in American slavery, which commodified and exploited enslaved Black women’s reproductive capacity as fuel for economic growth.
