Jess Dannhauser's approach to child welfare in NYC has been criticized for prioritizing racial equity over the immediate safety and well-being of children in abusive situations, revealing systemic failures within the ACS.
The whistleblower's exposé reveals that while previous practices included thorough investigations by trained professionals, the current CARES program allows for reports to be assessed without robust inquiry, which can leave vulnerable children in danger.
Critics argue that ACS's focus on racial equity has diverted resources away from crucial child abuse investigations, leaving many cases without proper safeguards, which ultimately jeopardizes the welfare of at-risk children.
The tragic story of Brian Santiago highlights the failures of the ACS system under Dannhauser, emphasizing a prioritization of bureaucratic efficiency over the urgent need to protect vulnerable children from neglect and abuse.
