Diane’s December 21, 2020 Imprint article addressed to the Biden administration has gotten alot of attention!
Diane’s article (Jan. 26, 2019) is published in The Atlantic “Ideas” section of the online magazine, calling attention to medical mistakes and misplaced hotline calls.
Diane’s Verdict magazine article "Child Abuse Registers Abuse Due Process" presents the case for major reform of child abuse registers—an issue as to which Diane has been a national leader for decades.
In November 2018, I was the lead author for a Cato Unbound symposium on child protectives services starting with “When Child Protective Services Gets it Wrong.” My series of three articles, responding twice to James Dwyer and Walter Olsen touches many topics of great concern to me: safety plan separations creating a shadow foster care system, registers, investigations, child removal standards, overprotection/overreporting and the overall goal of the system. The discussion is much richer than I expected!
Two reports I co-authored are:
"When Can Parents Let Children Be Alone" (August 2015), and
"Medical Ethics Concerns in Child Abuse Investigation--A Critical Perspective" (March 2014)
