anxiety and fear sparked by an investigation can make parents wary of interacting with any institution that may refer families to CPS, including schools, doctors’ offices, or social service agencies
If they were to focus on trying to change that image they could set up some requirements for the parents/guardians and slowly gain their trust depending on the time they give the family and have a better understanding for not the family but also what CPS is trying to show the world
While CPS can provide access to resources, this help is offered alongside the threat that the agency will separate children from their parents.
It's kind of like how someone face to face will be nice and kind but behind your back they'll "stab you in the back".
CPS investigators can often provide much-needed resources to families that are otherwise difficult to access, such as care for mental health, as long as families comply with CPS’ demands.
Can it be reasonable and fair to the families and can the people with mental health be assigned to mental hospitals until they can recover.
ethnographic observation
Ethnography is a set of qualitative methods that are used in social sciences that focus on the observation of social practices and interactions.
CPS is also able to assess and respond to the needs of families, oftentimes concluding that child abuse did not occur.
didn't know CPS could do that
probing
Probing questions are designed to encourage deep thought about a specific topic. They are typically open-ended questions, meaning the answers are primarily subjective.
Investigators enter family homes and ask probing questions.
It's like another way to view and also receive questions from the targeted family to determine what they'll decide.
Many of these children come from poor families and/or families of color.
They're mostly targeting poor families since they cant afford children needs.
over three million children, disproportionately poor, Black, and Native American children. A staggering one in three children can expect a CPS investigation at some point during childhood.
This goes to show how much people who neglect or suffer from poverty in low income communities each year in the U.S.

I never knew it was like this
Pantaleo remains protected from financial liability despite that he was the subject of at least three civil rights lawsuits before the death of Garner. One case, in 2013, involved two men from Staten Island who alleged that Pantaleo and three other officers unlawfully stopped and ordered them from their vehicle, then pulled down their pants and “touched and searched their genital areas, or stood by while this was done in their presence.” The city paid a $30,000 settlement to the plaintiffs, while the officers paid nothing. Two other lawsuits stemming from a 2012 incident alleged that Pantaleo and other NYPD officers falsely arrested and imprisoned two men, according to federal court records. (Both of those cases are pending.)
Financial Liability(Owes a sum of money to victims) is something us as citizens expect from law enforcement who is the cause of the death such as Pantaleo has done to the family of the victim Garner.
case in New York City, Cleveland, and Los Angeles, where wrongful death and other civil rights claims filed in the wake of officer-involved killings could result in payouts tallying in the millions of dollars.
This maybe be the reason why police are not charged with crimes just to avoid giving money to victims they killed, seems to me that money is more important than peoples lives
When police officers kill unarmed citizens they are rarely charged, let alone convicted of a crime.
Since the people who are in the police are also apart of the nations government and have a somewhat protection against charges/crimes
De-centering whiteness in arts and cultural institutions is an urgent matter.
Art with a eurocentric point of view silently denies other points of view or leaves out important cultural aspects that are sometimes needed to interpret a piece of art
if museums are willing to learn their audience to help fill in info on exhibits they may not fully understand, and are open to change, then the diversity will come naturally
Fred chooses pieces of art that are usually overlooked and brings them to the forefront to shed light on historical events that deal with race and open it to new perspectives
“The whitest job in arts and culture? Curator,” the study said. “The jobs with fewest white workers: maintenance and security.”
non-POC tend to have higher level jobs in museums most POC worker in the lower level jobs such as maintenance and security
some elite Manhattan museums and arts groups employ overwhelmingly white staffs
-example of class inequality -hiring white workers doesn't promote diversity -decreases opportunities available in museums for other races
What ordinary people are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited to the close-up scenes of job, family, neighborhood; in other milieux, they move vicariously and remain spectators.
Is this done on purpose to view things we want to view or is done without us really paying attention to it or wanting to do it on purpose.
Grace is Black in a predominantly white community and in a county where a disproportionate percentage of Black youth are involved with the juvenile justice system
I think it's wrong to just decide for someone of color based off of what they know, but also didn't give her a second chance to change the habits she was doing.
