In this episode of TORN, we’re joined by Angela Olivia Burton and Angeline Montauban to discuss the history and impact of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). Angela and Angeline unpack how CAPTA laid the groundwork for today’s family regulation system and share personal experiences that highlight its harmful effects on families, particularly in marginalized communities.
This conversation explores how CAPTA expanded the definition of child maltreatment, allowed poverty to be criminalized, and incentivized the removal of children from their homes. The discussion also touches on the carceral nature of the system and its parallels to the prison industrial complex.
This is the first part of a two-part conversation.
Listen now and join the conversation about creating a more equitable future for children and families.
