NCCPR Child Welfare Blog: Foster care in New York: Will ACS apply “the Madoff standard” to poor people?

NCCPR Child Welfare Blog: Foster care in New York: Will ACS apply “the Madoff standard” to poor people?: " Imagine for a moment that a son of someone who was once America’s most notorious drug dealers kills himself.  The drug dealer-father is serving a long, long jail term.  The son may have learned in the past week that he might have been facing criminal charges himself. His own son, age 2, is sleeping in the next room.  His wife is a thousand miles away.

            Another close relative finds the body.  Because the little boy had been left alone for a time, the police say they will notify the child protective services agency."
