“If New Mexico CYFD functioned at the national mean (just average) 350 less children would have been abused.” Sean Sullivan NMDOJ. @nmhrcc @NMHouseGOP @nmchildfirst
CYFD workers suspected of speaking to The New Mexican became targets of retaliatory investigations and escalating harassment after an article was published in mid-March about the state agency's toxic work environments at multiple county offices. sfnm.co/3RyxEQL
WE LOVE THIS FEATURE ARTICLE ABOUT OUR FOUNDING BOARD MEMBER MARCY AND HER WIFE NICKI!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 abqjournal.com/news/meet-the-…
Thank you @nmchildfirst for hosting this wonderful party for all! #FosterCare
Saturday I spent the evening with wonderful #FosterCare families; foster, kin, guardian, adoptive and grandparents raising grandchildren. Our NM #FosterCareCommunity is such a loving community. #ForTheChildren.
With the federal government shutdown barrelling toward a Nov. 1 “fiscal cliff,” state, local and tribal leaders are issuing urgent warnings that millions of families will soon be unable to meet basic needs. imprintnews.org/law-policy/har…
The Family First Act’s core promise is worth fighting for. But we must acknowledge its Achilles’ heel: flexibility without accountability, writes Channing Collins. Read her op-ed with five suggestions for strengthening Family First implementation: imprintnews.org/opinion/how-to…
🚨BIG WIN AGAINST CHILD TRAFFICKERS: The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that the state is not required to attempt reunification with a parent who trafficked her child. The Michigan Supreme Court overturned a dangerous ruling that had reinstated a mother’s parental rights even after she facilitated her 9 year-old daughter’s rape. Founder & CEO @darcyolsen said, “This is the kind of ruling we need more of. A woman who traffics her own child doesn’t need parenting classes—she needs prison.” Despite clear state and federal law, many states still default to reunifying children with parents who have trafficked or brutally abused them. We stand ready to challenge those failures in the highest courts when necessary.
🚨 Mississippi Declares Public Health Emergency on Infant Mortality--- New Mexico and @GovMLG should follow suit. 🚨 #nmpol #nmleg #CARAcrisis #healthyMS #msleg #mspol msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/index…
New Mexico, it's time to follow Mississippi's lead. (things I literally never thought I would say, let alone say with excitement, hope, desperation or enthusiasm). thehill.com/policy/healthc…
And this is why parenting on meth is dangerous, if not deadly. ⚠️ Meth alters your brain chemistry - can prevent bonding with your child, make you paranoid - and yes, can create "homicidal ideation" towards your 2 yr old toddler. #nmpol #nmleg #cyfdcrisis #CARAcrisis #drugcrisis
The fourth annual Touch A Truck is happening this Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon, at Franklin Plaza (northeast corner of Central and Juan Tabo). Hope you can make it!
When a 16-year-old dies in CYfD custody and the system hides behind laws to avoid accountability, it’s not confidentiality — it’s complicity. The time for polite reform has passed. @nmchildfirst
New Mexico’s Attorney General Raúl Torrez is launching an investigation into New Mexico’s Children Youth and Families Department after confirming another child has died in the state’s custody. kob.com/new-mexico/alb…

“There’s no other way to say it, other than our children are dying here in the state of New Mexico” - Leader @Gail4NM. We have a plan to repeal & replace the CARA Act and fix CYFD’s pattern of self-policed failures to protect our most vulnerable children. krqe.com/news/new-mexic…
The 2024 #nmleg SM5 Task Force mandated the final recommendation to the legislature that they must "Prioritize CARA statute amendments." 🚨 Ricky Renova is just one of the THOUSANDS of reasons why. 🚨 #CARACrisis #plansofsafecarearenotsafe #POSC santafenewmexican.com/news/legislatu…
Fixing a "broken" New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department ... is among the top priorities for House Democrats when the legislative session starts in about a week and a half. #nmleg #CARAcrisis #CYFDcrisis santafenewmexican.com/news/local_new…
".... Other proposals House Republicans will be backing include... reforming the state Children, Youth and Families Department, which House Democrats also support." #nmleg #CYFDcrisis #CARAcrisis santafenewmexican.com/news/local_new…
In NM CYFD office buildings, foster youth are monitored by private security. Altercations between kids and guards have injured children. 😡 🚩 😡 #CYFDcrisis #protectfosteryouth #nmleg #ourkidsarenotokay #fostercare searchlightnm.org/threatened-and…
