Black children are suffering higher rates of abuse — and woke officials are making it worse

By Naomi Schaefer Riley
February 2, 2022

Do black lives matter? What about black children’s lives?

Federal data released this week showed 504 black children died from maltreatment in 2020 — 73 more than in 2019. Black children were three times more likely to die from abuse or neglect than white children. Given that New York state’s overall number of child fatalities rose from 69 to 105 that year, it’s likely much of this problem is happening in our own backyard.

Responding to the report, JooYeun Chang, Administration for Children and Families assistant secretary, said that “there is still work to do.” No kidding. Where is the outrage? Are there any protests in the streets?

*  *  *

But Chang and the activists don’t want to talk about what is causing these disparities. Besides their higher fatality rate, black children are almost twice as likely as white ones to be abused or neglected — a rate of 13.2 for every 100,000 kids vs. 7.4 for white kids. (Native Americans suffer at the highest rate: 15.5 victims for every 100,000 kids.)

Advocates claim this is the result of racism, but then how do you explain the victimization rate for Hispanic children, which is almost exactly the same as that for white ones? Or that especially in cities like New York, the vast majority of the investigators are black or Hispanic professionals? And how do you explain all these black children dying at the hands of their own family members or other dangerous people living in their homes?

Nevertheless, in an effort to combat the structural racism of the “family policing system,” a movement to abolish the child-welfare system has sprung up. Using the “Defund the Police” movement as a model, its leaders demand the elimination of foster care and congregate care, of mandated reporting of maltreatment (by teachers and doctors, for instance) and of drug testing of infants and new mothers. They also want less police involvement in domestic violence (because it leads to more reporting of child maltreatment).

One of the myths that people had in early 2020 was that the so called Black Lives Matter group cared about black lives

It took a while for that view to change but many of us knew before 2020 that this wasn’t the case
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Black children's lives don't matter.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Not to worry. Even as I type this,the Biden administration is working on a plan to make white children suffer more.

The issue is not limited by race.  In the last 10 years, Massachusetts child welfare agencies and officials have failed to protect vulnerable children from abusive home or foster environments.

Children under state supervision are living and dying in unforgivable conditions, yet, the Moonbats-in-Charge care more about Global Climate Change, Bike Lanes, and Rail Trails than protecting the innocent, defenseless, vulnerable children under their supervision.

Charlie Baker has been a disappointment as governor because he has not made government accountable to its citizens.  The Mass GOP is no different than the Mass Dems - one hand washes the other, state agencies are employment bureaus for friends and family of state legislators of both parties.  Dems get support from public employee unions.  Repubs get support from vendors who do business with the state.

Harmony Montgomery was missing for two years before state agencies acted. What went wrong?

I ain't no lawyur and don't play one on teebee,but there HAS to be some sort of civil,and in some cases,even criminal,changes that can be filed against the officials personally responsible for neglecting to do their duty. After all,don't they take a legal oath of office?

Not in Massachsuetts because many people in positions of authority are politically connected.  They just resign, and find employment at another state-funded entity, such as a state college, museum, or authority.

@DefiantMassRINO

I had never even considered that possibility.

Thanks!

For the past 15+ years over 50% of all African American pregnancies in NYC ended in abortion. Of those that are not aborted 75% are born to unwed mothers. The percentage are similar in other Urban areas.
Inner cities (Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, etc...) Average over 1 shooting per day and over one death per week from violent crime. The leading cause of death among African American males ages 18=24 is African American males age 18-24.
Make no mistake Black lives only matter when they can use them as a weapon against the Right.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
