Abuse In and Out of Foster Care
The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 11, 2018
New York Times Metro reporter Nikita Stewart and City Limits reporter Harry DiPrinzio talk about the rise of instances of abuse in foster care homes and centers, and when child-parent separation is allowable under law. Plus, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams joins to discuss the public outcry over a widely circulated Facebook video showing NYPD officers forcibly removing a 1-year-old from his mother.
Lawyer of Jasmine Headley, the subject of that video, calls in to explain that Headley was at center to straighten out problems with childcare benefits. Says what you see in that video, is what it's like when they take a child away from a parent, even in family court.
