Aid to the Families of Dependent Children (AFDC) has been successful in most cases. Welfare reform should focus on aiding children by identifying and helping dysfunctional, welfare dependent parents when possible and relieving them of parenting responsibilities with adoption of their children when they neglect and abuse their children and are unable or unwilling to become competent parents. AFDC is illsuited to be an employment or an antipoverty program.
对受抚养儿童家庭的援助（AFDC）在大多数情况下都很成功。福利改革应侧重于帮助儿童，方法是尽可能识别并帮助功能失调、依赖福利的父母，当他们忽视和虐待孩子且无法或不愿成为称职的父母时，通过收养他们的孩子来解除他们的养育责任。AFDC并不适合作为一项就业或反贫困计划。
