Mayor Eric Adams has staunchly defended the Administration of Children's Services (ACS) against accusations that its progressive policies are endangering children. Despite a report indicating several child fatalities under the agency's care in 2024, Adams believes ACS workers are making appropriate decisions when it comes to removing children from potentially harmful situations. He highlighted that the agency had successfully placed thousands of children in foster care, arguing that the number saved reflects their effective judgment in complex situations involving family separation versus child safety.
The mayor insisted ACS workers are working to strike a balance between protecting kids from harm and the potentially traumatic decision to take them from their families.
Adams acknowledged the tragic deaths detailed in The Post, but argued the number of children that ACS saved is a better indication of its success.
