When the System Becomes the Trauma: A Georgia Family’s Fight With DFCS

Download MP3
Breaking the Silence, host Jake Tjapkes sat down with Jordan and Dorian, a young couple from Georgia whose lives were upended by an encounter with the child welfare system. Their story exposes the complexity, contradictions, and emotional toll that families can experience when navigating investigations and interventions by Georgia Department of Family and Children’s Services (DFCS).

This is not a story about neglectful parents. It is a story about how systems, when poorly coordinated and lacking compassion, can become a source of trauma themselves.
