Mayor Eric Adams defends NYC's child protection agency as it comes under fire - including over girl trapped in corpse-filled house of horrors
Briefly

After the grim discovery of a young girl found alive amidst the corpses of her mother and brother, Mayor Eric Adams expressed unwavering support for the city’s Administration for Children's Services (ACS). He highlighted the agency's challenging role in child welfare, despite public outrage over past failures. Adams remarked that while the ACS has been criticized, they have also saved numerous children, questioning why their successes are often overlooked. Several incidents under scrutiny reveal a systemic issue within the agency, yet he calls for appreciation of their work.
I stand with my employees in ACS," Adams said Tuesday during his weekly news briefing at City Hall.

They saved thousands of lives because of the action," he said.
But he then appeared to argue the real outrage is ACS not getting the credit for their tough jobs.
