Uncovering Hidden Foster Care, with Aubrey Edwards-Luce
Description
In this episode, Aubrey Edwards-Luce, Executive Director at the Center for Families, Children, and the Courts at the University of Baltimore School of Law, joins us to discuss the growing issue of hidden foster care. Hidden foster care is a way to keep children with family instead of entering the foster system, but with no oversight or due process, it doesn't always give parents, children, or caregivers the tools their family needs.
Aubrey shares how these arrangements can harm everyone involved and outlines four key policy changes from her upcoming paper, The Hidden Foster Care Policy Agenda, that would bring oversight, accountability, and fairness to this shadow system.
The EPPiC broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, president of the Parental Rights Foundation. You can sign up for email alerts to keep yourself informed on parental rights news at https://parentalrightsfoundation.org/get-involved/.
