NYC Court Exposes CPS Corruption: Landmark Ruling Reveals Systemic Abuse of Power Against Families
A groundbreaking February 2025 New York Appeals Court ruling has pulled back the curtain on one of CPS's most egregious practices: systematically targeting and supervising parents who are themselves victims of abuse. This case exposes just one layer of the deep-rooted corruption within our family court and child protective systems.
Pattern of Systemic Abuse Revealed
This ruling exposes a calculated pattern of institutional abuse where CPS routinely:
- Uses coercive tactics to force families into "voluntary" supervision
- Threatens parents with child removal to ensure compliance
- Conducts invasive home investigations without probable cause
- Implements punitive measures against already traumatized families
- Exploits their authority to maintain control over vulnerable parents
Systemic Racism: A Tool of Control
The court's findings expose how CPS weaponizes institutional racism, with Black families being targeted at rates 52% higher than their population percentage. Most disturbing, emergency removals without court orders affect Black children at more than double the rate of other demographics.
- Black families are targeted at rates far exceeding their population percentage
- 52% of emergency removals without court orders affect Black children
- Families of color face heightened surveillance and scrutiny
- Cultural practices are often mischaracterized as abuse
- Poverty is criminalized under the guise of neglect
The Money Trail: Following CPS Corruption
Behind these injustices lies a disturbing financial incentive structure. Federal funding is directly tied to the number of children in the system, creating a perverse incentive for family separation. Our investigation reveals that CPS agencies receive increased funding for each child removed from their home, regardless of the legitimacy of the removal.
- Federal funding tied to the number of children in the system
- Financial incentives for keeping families under supervision
- Costly "service plans" forced upon families
