I guess what I want to make sure--and, Ms. Jackson, my question is for you--being that we know that poverty is a risk for many of these young people, addiction is a risk, when we are responding to referrals for child maltreatment, how can we assure that we are addressing the underlying issues and not simply separating parents from children because they are poor or they don't have the--the background or the information they need?
Hayes questions how to address underlying issues in child maltreatment cases without penalizing poverty.
