Abstract
The article critiques the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) for focusing narrowly on parental responsibility while neglecting broader societal factors like poverty and racism. It highlights the challenges in predicting child abuse and the negative outcomes of foster care, arguing that the system's approach is flawed and in need of reform.
