“Regardless of what is happening, my role is the same—how do we move forward, given the presence of this breakdown?”

“I’m not trying to keep secrets from you,” he said quietly. “It’s simply that—these matters—I have tried to separate from the rest of my life. Had I ever married, I imagine I would have kept up the fiction of a perfectly chaste life, if only not to humiliate my wife. You will learn nothing special or important about me from asking me questions that can only hurt you.”

“Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about—a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union—and take its side.”

“Revolutionary change is not neutral. It is never expected and rarely embraced—at first. Revolutionary change would radically alter the operations within child welfare. It would never settle for incremental improvements; it is committed to challenging the foundation of child welfare and creating a humane experience for families. Evolutionary change maintains the status quo. It claims to “protect” children and “help” families, which is noble but shortsighted. Revolutionary change must reach beyond noble ideas and platitudes. Revolutionary change would be a CPS system that approaches the relational connections between a child and their family as sacrosanct. The commitment to strengthening families should be CPS’s ultimate, if not singular, goal.”
