サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In Part 2 of our discussion on the family regulation system, we continue exploring the ways policies like theChild Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) have shaped child welfare into a system of surveillance, control, and punishment—particularly for Black families.
Angela Olivia Burton and Angeline Montauban return to share their insights on how compliance is often prioritized over family well-being, the role of psychological evaluations in prolonging separation, and the ways parents who assert their rights are often penalized. This conversation also touches on the growing calls forabolition and reinvesting in communities rather than foster care institutions.
Listen in as we discuss:
- The consequences of challenging the system as a parent
- How psychological evaluations are used to control outcomes
- Why compliance, not child well-being, is often the focus
- Steps toward dismantling harmful practices and building family-centered alternatives
This episode is foradvocates, legal professionals, and anyone working toward systemic change in child welfare.
