New York City’s child welfare agency agreed to pay $75,000 to a mother from the
Bronx who had her newborn son removed after she legally smoked marijuana hours
before giving birth.

The woman, Chanetto Rivers, had sued the city in May, claiming that the
Administration for Children’s Services had targeted her because she is Black.
A.C.S. has long faced criticism for aggressively going after parents for
marijuana use, as well as for its treatment of Black families.
