Listen "In the Matter of Sapphire W., with Melissa Friedman, Zoë Allen, and David Shalleck-Klein"
Episode Synopsis
Today we discuss In Re: Sapphire W. with three attorneys who worked on the case: Melissa Friedman and Zoe Allen of the Legal Aid Society's Juvenile Rights Practice and David Shalleck-Klein of the Family Justice Law Center. In Sapphire W., they took on New York City family courts' practice of placing families under the supervision of ACS any time a child was alleged to have been neglected or abused, even if there was no allegation against the custodial parent.Together, our guests won a major victory to preserve family integrity for Sapphire and her mom, and for countless other NY families.The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, president of the Parental Rights Foundation.
