Jane Crow: for black and Hispanic mothers, the slightest anomaly is seized on as an excuse to take their children away to "protect" them.

Even once their children are returned to them, they face various sorts of continuing punishment, harassment, blacklisting, and pitfalls, which serve only to uphold the pretense that there was a reason for action.

The way to help those children is to give the mothers aid to lift them out of poverty. Poverty makes life more difficult, so that minor anomalies are more likely. It also causes emotional stress, which leads to mishaps too. (Not to mention that it stunts the children's mental and physical development.)
