Happy to share a new article: (De)Funding Family Separations, about the many strange and problematic incentives created by federal funding systems for state family regulation/CPS agencies. nyujlpp.org/wp-content/upl…
Should I call child protection services? This Viewpoint from @Mical_Raz, @JoshGuptaKagan, and Andrea Asnes discusses five things every pediatric clinician should know about CPS and equity before making a report. ja.ma/4et5kpj
From @JoshGuptaKagan in @MO_Independent: Is @DSS_Missouri really reducing #fostercare - or just renaming it? missouriindependent.com/2023/09/21/mis… #childabuse #childwelfare #hiddenfostercare #MOpol, #MOgov #moleg
Happy to share that my next article, Distinguishing Family Poverty from Neglect, is forthcoming in the @IowaLawReview. Spoiler: the family regulation doesn't distinguish poverty and neglect well because it's not designed to do so. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Thanks to the ALI Advisor for highlighting my forthcoming article, Distinguishing Family Poverty from Child Neglect! thealiadviser.org/children-law/d…
Narrowing the Front Door presents: THE FIGHT FOR FAMILY MIRANDA. What we’ve learned, learning from advocates in Texas whose legislative body passed Miranda this session. Please register at: bit.lyFamilyMiranda and be apart of the change
Hot off the law review presses -- how the number of kids in foster care in New Orleans dropped 90% without endangering children. (besides the substance, great to work with amazing co-authors @BearLovesCrab @vivekssankaran Melissa Carter and Andy Barclay.) law.lclark.edu/live/files/348…
There's no serious debate -- families have the right to demand a warrant from government agents raiding their homes. For half a century, Child Protective Services have ignored this, forcing their way in by taking advantage of terrified families who don't know better. No more!

Excited that the Red Book has arrived! And honored to have worked with @NACCchildlaw to put together this all star team of contributors to capture the state of course our field.
The proposed legislation calls for an accounting of how often hidden foster care occurs, imposes time limits on how long it can last, and requires that parents be notified of their rights to refuse the arrangements. bit.ly/3ZQnXwz
A woman is suing a Brooklyn hospital for secretly testing her for drugs during labor and calling child-protective services. trib.al/EloRfbq

Great new piece by child advocates in the Columbia Law Review Forum, showing that more family separations does NOT make children safer. Covid limited child removals and keeping more families together also kept kids safe. columbialawreview.org/content/reduci…
Two good stories on a very promising right to counsel bill in WA State, seeking to provide parents with lawyers when the state is pressuring them to "voluntarily" give up their kids. propublica.org/article/shadow… imprintnews.org/foster-care/wa…
Washington state legislators are weighing a bill that would guarantee legal counsel for hundreds of parents ensnared in "hidden foster care" – informal placements outside of court oversight. bit.ly/3l8U7UA
