cjrl-9932	Lee, Tina	Foreword: Response to the Symposium	2022	15	.pdf	application/pdf	7811	301	51	My research looked at the history of child welfare in New York City and how it emerged as a way to police “dangerous” populations in the mid- nineteenth century (i.e. Irish, Eastern and Southern Europeans who were, at the time, considered racially inferior), how the system punished families of color for poverty through child removal, how the courts were or were not a forum for checking the power of the child welfare agency, and how a focus on “compliance” recreated poverty, leaving families more vulnerable. [T]he child welfare system helps to make the impoverishment and societal neglect of children tolerable to the larger population by promoting the idea that children are valued and protected.	cache/cjrl-9932.pdf	txt/cjrl-9932.txt
