Polls and studies of racial attitudes have shown that many African Americans support physical discipline of children, which can some- times lead to more serious abuse. Wexler said that under- standing culturally specific factors that place Black children SUB BIDS REQUESTED Pony Creek Treatment Plant Expansion Project at risk is needed, as well as the role that poverty plays. “Sometimes, very poor people have to make really awful decisions . . . We’re pretty darn sure that poverty is associ- ated with abuse and neglect,” Drake said. “There is a lot of evidence that being poor is rough on people and rough on parents.” So long as our society permits such a large num- ber of our children and young families to live in horrible economic circumstances, we can expect to see high rates of child maltreatment. Reducing current racial disproportion- ality in the child welfare system can be best achieved by reducing underlying risk factors that affect Black families, specifically poverty.” And, still others call for more Blacks to be placed in administrative positions within the child welfare system and for more sensitivity training among teachers, case- workers, and doctors. I think that a holistic approach to child protection is nec- essary, one that addresses the individual, social, emotional, and physical needs of children and families. The training of social workers needs to be balanced with considerations of the role of macro-level poverty and community perspective simultaneously.
