Show Notes
A New York City mother, Meredith Trainor, is suing the Administration for Childrens Services for unlawfully removing her eleven-month-old daughter without a court order. Trainor claims the agency violated her and her babys constitutional rights after the child ingested cocaine, leading to a five-day separation and months of family court proceedings. The incident sparked concerns about a pattern of emergency removals lacking imminent danger or court approval, disproportionately impacting people of color. ACS defends its actions, stating removals occur only when a child faces immediate harm and courts are unavailable, with over ninety-seven percent of cases resulting in children staying with families.
