JMacforFamilies is led by Joyce McMillan a parent that was impacted by the family regulation/policing system. We are dedicated to decreasing and ultimately ending the involvement of systems into the lives of families, causing the harm of trauma and family separation. We are instead pushing to utilize monies to provide the families whatever they need to keep the family healthy, happy, thriving and

intact. Our two flagship programs are HEAL - Heal, Educate, Advocate and Lead - Parent Legislative Action Network (PLAN) - a coalition of Parents, Professors, Lawyers, Social Workers, and Community seeking to use legislation to change how the family policing system negatively impacts families

When poverty is treated like neglect, families pay the price — especially Black, Brown, and Native families.

International experts are now echoing what U.S. communities have been saying for generations: children and families deserve support, not surveillance.

Our advocacy — now reflected in a UN expert’s global report — calls for systemic change that keeps children safe and supported by keeping families strong.

Family policing agents, Judges, case mangers, elected officials and many more will read this article and not process it In relations to their work.

They will all shake their heads in discuss as they read about the harms being caused to families written in the article. But, Interestingly they will not see themselves as a party to any of it.

My biggest issue is with Judges who ignore the law to “keep their names out of the news” what a crock of….

Judges sign orders to remove children from their families without any concern of their names being in a newspaper even though children are more likely to be harmed (r***d, molested, abused) in out of home placements. Judges only seem to be concerned of their names being in newspapers when they’re charged with keeping families intact or reunifying a family that has been separated.

And “ELECTED OFFICILES” are complete trash!!!Their purpose is to protect the rights of all people not just the ones who presumably voted for them. But those idiots want to debate the right for (BLACK) Families to excercise their rights when family policing agents knock without a court order to enter their the home or speak to the child.

I’m just sick and tired of stupidity!!!

Parents should also be challenging gag orders - the court are abusing families and issuing gag orders to prevent the general public from becoming aware that children are being trafficked through family court. Why else would we spend so much money to separate families?

In a New York appeals court, a Brooklyn mother and her lawyers are challenging CPS supervision of her home after she was physically abused.

Take to the streets with JMACforFamilies as we rally at City Hall in NYC to demand that City Council
pass NYC Family Miranda (Int. 0865-22 & Int. 0294- 22)! We won't stop until all NYC families are informed of their rights and feel safe in their homes when the
Administration for Children's Services (ACS) knocks!

A system that actually helps children wouldn’t have the outcomes this system has-family separation is violent & disruptive to a child’s development & a set up for failure 'Deluged' child welfare systems struggle to protect kids amid calls for reform : NPR

More than 3 million U.S. children were involved in an intervention for suspected abuse or neglect in a single year. Advocates say a disproportionate impact on families of color makes reform urgent.
