The Advocate
First, let me briefly explain what a Family Advocate does: We meet with a parent who is either involved with the child protection agency (CPS) or believes they may be soon. We attempt to help them identify any issues that could be problematic, or if they have already had contact with a child protection worker, identify what steps will remedy whatever the problem was, and to find community services to help them address those issues

The Unintended Consequences of Child Protection
A string of well-intended legislation, coupled with some poorly designed incentive programs are now culminating in a climate of hysteria. Americans have historically over-reacted to crises, often doing more harm with the perceived remedies. This is a classic example. While no one wishes to leave an abused child in a dangerous home, it appears that the combination of our desire to protect a child, and our failure to embed proper safeguards in the laws is causing a generation of children to be traumatized in many instances unnecessarily.
