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

Two short articles to share: First, with @micalraz and Andrea Asnes, some cautions to medical providers before calling CPS hotlines. Should I Call Child Protection?—Guidelines for Clinicians | Pediatrics | JAMA Pediatrics | JAMA Network

And, second, for the Star Wars fans, how The Acolyte is an allegory for CPS interventions gone wrong. Star Wars and CPS: Beware the Well-Intentioned Family Separator (imprintnews.org)

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…

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.

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…
