Because of its racist origins and modern function, the family policing system is a tool of cultural genocide against Black, Indigenous, and Latine families. The family policing system creates a false dichotomy, pitting parents against children while purporting to promote and support family integrity. Similarly, the family policing system perpetuates the notion that Black, Indigenous, and Latine parents put children at risk so as to obfuscate all the ways that the state intervenes to oppress families by design. Failing to provide families with resources has always been a political choice, reflecting just how little this nation values families of color. Over the past decade, the family-led movement to abolish family policing has grown as those impacted by family policing, both as parents and as children, have joined forces to fundamentally shift the narrative around the “child welfare” and “juvenile justice” systems—opening our collective eyes to the ways that these systems mirror the criminal legal system in role and function, and leading us to imagine and build a future where families can be safe and thrive, together.
