I recently read about a sharp increase in cases of parental abandonment in New York City. This alarming trend is affecting many children and families. As someone deeply concerned about the well-being of these kids and the effectiveness of our local government’s response, I’m wondering: What initiatives has the NYC government taken to address the issue of parental abandonment? Are there specific programs or policies in place to help those affected?
NYC has initiatives like child protective services, family support programs, and emergency shelters. Programs include the Administration for Children’s Services and the NYC Family Justice Centers, which offer resources and support for affected children and families.
