According to the whistleblower, the city's Administration for Children's Services has deprioritized child welfare investigations in favor of a misguided social justice approach, endangering children's lives.
Dannhauser defended the agency, claiming there is extensive training for child protective specialists, but the whistleblower stated that they remain overwhelmed by unmanageable caseloads.
Lawmakers expressed concern over the controversial CARES program, which prioritizes family-led solutions over formal investigations, raising alarms about its effectiveness in safeguarding at-risk children.
Dannhauser acknowledged operational challenges, including the denial of access to children in about 2% of cases, suggesting gaps in the child welfare system.
