Report: Hundreds of Thousands of Parents in the U.S. Having their Children Kidnapped by the State at a Rate that Doubled in 6 Years

ProPublica teamed up with NBC News to publish an investigation into families who lose their parental rights through the Child Welfare system and often never get their children back. The title of their report is: The “Death Penalty” of Child Welfare: In Six Months or Less, Some Parents Lose Their Kids Forever.

The focus of their investigation was the length of time it took before the State terminated parental rights, based mainly on a 1997 law passed by President Bill Clinton, the Adoption and Safe Families Act. As we have published many times over the years on our MedicalKidnap.com website, this law released federal funding that actually encourages states to take children away from their families, rather than encourage “safe families.”
