The foster care system is wrecking young lives

All children deserve the love and affection that come from being in a family. Most importantly, children deserve to have their needs met in a permanent and loving home. The original ideal of the foster care system was to provide such fundamental necessities until a child is reunited with his or her biological parents, or adopted. However, the present reality shows us something entirely different. The child welfare system has declined to the point where it now caters to the needs of the adults rather than to those of the children.  In this episode, Eric Kohn, Acton director of communications, sits with Naomi Schaefer Riley, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, to discuss her new book, No Way to Treat a Child: How the Foster Care System, Family Courts, and Racial Activists Are Wrecking Young Lives.   Subscribe to Acton Line, Acton Unwind, & Acton Vault  No Way to Treat a Child: How the Foster Care System, Family Courts, and Racial Activists Are Wrecking Young Lives  Bio | Naomi Schaefer Riley Anti-religious hostility takes aim at foster care and adoption agencies  Our Foster Care System Is Becoming A 'Pipeline' For Human Trafficking  Social justice crusaders are putting kids in the foster care system at risk  Banter Podcast | Naomi on American child welfare  Why kids in foster care end up sleeping in offices  Hosted on Acast.
