RE: The 'Adoption and Safe Families Act' and the Clinton's Legacy of Screwing Over African American and Poor Families
Child abuse was already declining, but the foster care system kept growing.
Just like poverty was declining before the government stepped in. Awareness of situations brings communities together and people do something about it, but when we hand over responsibility to another place we put our trust in them and believe we no longer have to do anything. Little do we realise we're giving authorities free reign.
Exactly. The power needs to be in our hands by caring to do something as a community, not outsourcing our responsibility and power to centralized forces...
