US: Grandparents step up. So should we. Donna Butts, Generations United (Opinion)

US: Grandparents step up. So should we. Donna Butts, Generations United (Opinion)
Washington Post – April 22, 2022
Dorothy Roberts’s April 17 Outlook essay, “Five Myths: Child welfare” missed one critical factor in raising children in safe, stable and loving homes when their parents are unable to do so: grandparents and other relatives. Grandfamilies, also known as kinship families, are responsible for 2.6 million children in this country. For every one child in the child welfare system cared for by a relative, 18 are being raised by relatives outside the system.
