Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of Child Protective Services (CPS) from a system focused on investigating serious abuse to one that provides social services to impoverished families. Topics include the impact of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 on family support, various CPS reform initiatives aimed at assisting vulnerable families and the relation between Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) policies and increased cases of child neglect.
