The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) is under scrutiny following the deaths of at least seven minority children within a year, prompting accusations of systemic racism. Critics argue that the agency prioritizes preserving family unity over child welfare, leading to catastrophic outcomes. For instance, four-year-old Jahmeik Modlin died from starvation despite prior ACS visits to his home. The agency's reluctance to remove children from dangerous environments, driven by a misguided belief in social equity, raises serious ethical questions about their operational policies and effectiveness.
ACS workers are now reluctant to remove children from high-risk homes, a decision that has led to several minority children’s deaths, raising questions about the agency's priorities.
Mayor Eric Adams defended ACS despite its failures, claiming they had 'saved thousands of lives,' but critics point to the agency's troubling track record.
