The book presents a critical examination of US child welfare policy, reframing child removal as a form of political state violence rather than benevolent protection. Laura Briggs argues that this practice has historical roots in systemic oppression and social control, linking it to broader issues like immigration politics and mass incarceration. The analysis highlights the continuity of state terror against vulnerable populations, particularly families of color and the poor, making it a timely and urgent call to recognize and address these injustices.
