On August 23rd, the North Carolina Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights had its fourth panel investigating Civil Rights and the Child Welfare System in North Carolina. The Committee heard testimony in panel form from five impacted individuals who shared their stories with the Committee about how the child welfare system failed them by causing more harm to their children and families by tearing them apart.
One final panel will be held online on September 27th from 12:00-1:30 pm for “Additional Perspectives.”
