 Magnificent Sydney Harbor, but I know what you're thinking about is New York City's child welfare system racist. Some of its own workers say yes. Most of New York City's child abuse workers are black, most of their supervisors are black, but apparently black families in their system kill their children at seven times the rate of other families and somehow white racism must be at a blame. Very disturbing. Allow the selection of stories. Thank you. Which means homelessness, welfare, poverty, things like that. This article that I'll be reading to you is about racial disparities in the child welfare system in New York City where black families are seven times as likely as white families to be accused of neglect or abuse. Black families have long contended that the system is biased against them. It turns out that many of the city's own case workers think so too. According to a survey the city Commission, ACS workers also said that for poor families, signs of poverty are often conflated with neglect and that gets a lot of people put through these very intrusive child welfare investigations needlessly. I talked to one ACS supervisor. Very disturbing.
