S07 E09: Who America Considers a Family

As the media weaves a narrative about evil doctors kidnapping children: the real harms caused by the child welfare system go unnoticed. Today we look at the case for strengthening children's rights as well as the case for replacing the child welfare system altogether.

Featuring:

•
Roxanna Asgarian, Child Welfare Journalist

•
Elizabeth Bartholet, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School

•
Alan Dettlaff, Professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work
