ICYMI: NCCPR #childwelfare Blog: Without ever intending it, New Mexico’s governor has made it more likely that vulnerable children will die – and used an Orwellian justification nccprblog.org/2026/06/withou… #childabuse #fostercare #childwelfare #nmpol, #nmleg

NCCPR #childwelfare Blog: The intrinsic toxicity of #fostercare placement is so great we can measure how many more children are likely to die as a result of misguided policies like NM @GovMLG child-confiscation-at-birth directive nccprblog.org/2026/06/withou… #childabuse #nmpol, #nmleg

So @AP, glad you're promoting this great journalism from @_sallyho Too bad the last line says she's "a *former* Associated Press reporter." A big loss for the journalism of #childwelfare

A tsunami of children’s suffering, when they are wrongly cast into #fostercare is routinely dismissed by the #childwelfare establishment and its enablers in politics and journalism. A story in The @NewYorker brings some of it to light: nccprblog.org/2026/05/what-h… #childabuse
