A proposito di questo titolo

When you're poor, being a parent means walking a tightrope with no net — and CPS is the one shaking the rope. In this episode, I dig into the child welfare system that claims to protect children but too often punishes the families who need help the most.

From “dirty shoes” and empty fridges to federal incentives for removals, I expose how poverty is criminalized, how surveillance hides behind the word “support,” and how fear keeps mothers silent. Because when the state profits from family separation, “help” becomes a threat — and protection becomes a privilege you have to afford.
