The article criticizes Jess Dannhauser, head of the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), for his refusal to remove children from dangerous environments, citing 'equity' as a justification.

The tragic cases of children like Jahmeik Modlin and Promise Cotton exemplify the agency's failures, as they suffered neglect despite previous ACS reports on their families. Mayor Eric Adams' comments suggest a dangerous balance between intervention and family respect, but many argue this is misguided and leads to devastating outcomes for vulnerable children.
