"Saved" by the system: why are so many kids of color taken into the child welfare system? Akiba Solomon finds out what happened to one family. (Child Welfare).
It's been awhile since Rhonda * climbed out of the quicksand of child protective services. But the Washington, D.C., mother and wife is still reeling from the six months she was separated from her two-year-old daughter and her newborn twins.
For starters, Rhonda, 21, is plagued by self-doubt. Any mother would be if she dropped a seven-week-old preemie fresh out of the hospital. "In retrospect, I wish I had just left him laying down and went and got his bottle out of the kitchen," she says in an exhausted monotone. "I was used to picking him up, but I think I held him wrong. I should have just left him, and then we wouldn't have had to deal with this."
