More than half of Black children experience a child welfare investigation by their eighteenth birthday– almost twice the prevalence for white children.
April Lee knows the family surveillance system well. More than eight years ago, April’s three children were removed from her home. Among her family, friends, and community, most people have been through the child welfare system as parents, children, or oftentimes both. Now, she’s using her lived experience to help Black and Brown parents reunite with their children and ultimately end the trauma of family separation. April shares the obstacles parents must overcome to avoid losing their children forever and why she believes child welfare cannot meet its own standard of safety for children.
Guest: April Lee (@AprilLee215) is the Director of Client Voice at Community Legal Services of Philadelphia.
