"Torn Apart - How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families--and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World"

Torn Apart - How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families--and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World
Many believe the child welfare system protects children from abuse. But as Torn Apart uncovers, this system is designed to punish Black families. Drawing on decades of research, legal scholar and sociologist Dorothy Roberts reveals that the child welfare system is better understood as a “family policing system” that collaborates with law enforcement and prisons to oppress Black communities. Child protection investigations ensnare a majority of Black children, putting their families under intense state surveillance and regulation. Black children are disproportionately likely to be torn from their families and placed in foster care, driving many to juvenile detention and imprisonment.

The only way to stop the destruction caused by family policing, Torn Apart argues, is to abolish the child welfare system and liberate Black communities.

Blaqsbi is a Black-owned media and networking platform built on the principles of Black Digital Sovereignty. We provide a safe, independent space where Black people can speak freely, share ideas, and build community without fear of censorship or outside control.

Members huddle together to share knowledge, celebrate our greatness, and inspire unity.As the only Black-owned platform that rewards you for promoting Black culture, pride, and excellence, Blaqsbi ensures our data, our narratives, and our digital future remain in our hands.

Created as a positive alternative to mainstream social networks, Blaqsbi offers a safe, supportive, and culturally rich space to share ideas, shatter negative stereotypes, and cultivate cooperative wealth. Our platform serves as a modern digital sovereignty where members can unapologetically celebrate their heritage while building meaningful connections. Our unique ecosystem bridges the gap between conscious consumers, creators, and entrepreneurs.

Beyond standard social networking, members can explore a thriving global marketplace to buy and sell goods, list or discover companies in our comprehensive business directory, participate in localized events, and join focused, niche discussion groups called "huddles."

Best of all, Blaqsbi believes in true cooperative economics. We actively reward our community for their engagement and creativity; members earn Bmunts (our native reward points) simply for posting content, interacting with others, and completing challenges.

Furthermore, we are proud to offer a profit-sharing model that directly benefits our users, ensuring that the value generated on our platform is shared with the community that helps build it.
