children than in Black communities. Polls and studies of
racial attitudes have shown that many African Americans
support physical discipline of children, which can some-

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.
