Unemployment is Child Abuse

Who said unemployment was child abuse?

Why, the U.S. Administration for Children and Families did in 1985!

# 21

a. Was the child an actual or potential AFDC recipient’

b. Was financial need established’

c. Was the child removed from home of a specified relative’

d. Was deprivation of parental support or care established’


"DERIVATION OF PARENTAL SUPPORT - There must be a specification of how the child is deprived of parental support or care. This can be by reason of death, absence, or the physical or mental incapacity of one parent, or, at State option, by the unemployment of the principal wage earner.

25 years later, very little has changed.
