@Sixtocancel & his org @ThinkOf_Us are doing incredible work to advocate for youth and centering the loved experience of people who have been impacted by the child welfare system. He is sharing his story and work at the @riccforg Policy Luncheon
Powerful presentation by @Sixtocancel @ThinkOf_Us at @riccforg awards luncheon. Critical info +discussion about the importance of lived experience, focus on prevention, kinship care and youth success. Congrats to @tkubasmeyer for job well done.
@Sixtocancel shared about the #harmofremoval. If the threat of a government “intervention” is so TERRORIZING that a mother on the brink of #homelessness will intentionally #relapse to get housing to keep her babies out of #fostercare then WE’RE DOING #CHILDPROTECTION WRONG.

Happening now! We’re listening to @Sixtocancel of @ThinkOf_Us discuss his personal experience with the family policing system & the #HarmOfRemoval
Happening now! We’re listening to @Sixtocancel of @ThinkOf_Us discuss his personal experience with the family policing system & the #HarmOfRemoval
@Sixtocancel discusses his research interest in evaluating the effects of the Child Abuse & Neglect Registry on perpetuating racial inequity
@Sixtocancel There are many bureaucratic & economic barriers for parents to reunify with their children. One parent pursued substance use treatment, but was denied bc they hadn’t used substances in over 90 days. They then purposely relapsed to be able to access treatment & be with their kids.
@Sixtocancel Audience Q highlights the difference between abolitionism vs. abolitionist. @Sixtocancel discusses how solutions must be created across a spectrum of varying perspectives of advocates.
@Sixtocancel “We are not removing ENOUGH children out of the right situations.” The system is focusing on the wrong interventions in most cases. We’re missing parties who can co-design co-solutions. Ex: Judicial weighing of kinship care vs. reducing liability
@Sixtocancel tells the story of a mother who intentionally relapsed so that she could access housing through her recovery program. These are the choices we force people to make.

"And what we now know is that research is showing that when children are placed with kin, they fare way better, from mental health to stability to graduating high school on time." – Sixto Cancel, Think Of Us n.pr/43y1ZiF @ThinkOf_Us @Sixtocancel @NPR @TEDTalks

"I think the hardest secret that a lot of people who’ve experienced foster care carry is that we all wish that we had family, and that we could be raised by people who truly are in our corner and who love us." - @Sixtocancel, Founder & CEO, @ThinkOf_Us.

@Sixtocancel shared about the #harmofremoval. If the threat of a government “intervention” is so TERRORIZING that a mother on the brink of #homelessness will intentionally #relapse to get housing to keep her babies out of #fostercare then WE’RE DOING #CHILDPROTECTION WRONG.
@Sixtocancel tells the story of a mother who intentionally relapsed so that she could access housing through her recovery program. These are the choices we force people to make.
Happening now! We’re listening to @Sixtocancel of @ThinkOf_Us discuss his personal experience with the family policing system & the #HarmOfRemoval

@Sixtocancel using the data to speak truth to power @UBaltLawCFCC ‘s symposium. #harmofremoval
@Sixtocancel discusses his research interest in evaluating the effects of the Child Abuse & Neglect Registry on perpetuating racial inequity
@Sixtocancel There are many bureaucratic & economic barriers for parents to reunify with their children. One parent pursued substance use treatment, but was denied bc they hadn’t used substances in over 90 days. They then purposely relapsed to be able to access treatment & be with their kids.
Today I’m at @UBaltLawCFCC’s conference on the harms of removing kids from their families. Keynote @Sixtocancel gets it right: yes, there is abuse. But instead of focusing there, we’re investigating the wrong people, using the wrong interventions, and getting the wrong outcomes.
@Sixtocancel Audience Q highlights the difference between abolitionism vs. abolitionist. @Sixtocancel discusses how solutions must be created across a spectrum of varying perspectives of advocates.
@Sixtocancel “We are not removing ENOUGH children out of the right situations.” The system is focusing on the wrong interventions in most cases. We’re missing parties who can co-design co-solutions. Ex: Judicial weighing of kinship care vs. reducing liability
