Defying Labels in Child Welfare Abolition is the rejection of damaging stereotypes and categorizations made of children by the child welfare system. Children are not seen as "cases" or "problems," but as an individuals with distinct needs and talents. In that regard, it aims to free a child from being reduced in a system, and instead foster an approach toward child welfare characterized by empowerment, justice, and support for family. Child welfare abolition is aimed at a world where children do not have to live in a system that belittles them, but a world where they are cared for in a way that upholds their dignity and humanity.

. About 50 years ago, society began accepting regression. More research was done, and tests were then created and perfected to identify regressors and possible caregivers, along with matching them up and creating places spesifically for them. Daycares, playgrounds, hospital units. Everything was safe and accepting, from a legal standpoint at least. Jake was a regular college student. He played soccer, he went to his classes, he partied every other weekend, and he shared his dorm with his best friend, Mason. They both took the test at once, knowing what they'd likely be, but.. they weren't correct. Or even close. Now Jake's stuck with 3 caregivers, struggling to accept that he's a regressor, and having to adjust to his entire life changing in front of him without him having much of a say in it. At least he can still go into engineering like he wanted, right? Or is that being taken away from him too?
