Daycare abuse spikes in NYC — and equity-driven ‘reform’ is to blame

For years, New York state and local officials have made it harder to investigate child abuse, and harder to keep abusers on the registry that educational and child-care employers check before they hire. Now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost: City daycare facilities are seeing skyrocketing cases of child abuse by employees. Anyone wondering how this happened hasn’t been paying attention. When Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law last year forbidding hotline callers from accepting anonymous reports of child abuse, it sealed the deal on a hands-off stance that was long in the making. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services has made a concerted effort to tamp down calls about child maltreatment, actively discouraging teachers, for instance, from reporting child neglect. When calls are accepted, more and more of them are deemed “low risk,” meaning families are offered services but the cases are never actually investigated. Many such “low risk” cases are nothing of the sort: For instance, a case that ACS chalks up to poverty — such as a teacher’s report that a child showed up to school hungry, having not been fed all weekend — may actually be the result of substance abuse or

8 New York colleges that offer best value in America

As high school students in the Class of 2027 begin narrowing down their college choices ahead of application season, many New York families are looking for schools that offer the best value — balancing affordability with strong career outcomes. College costs remain a major concern. Since 2005, tuition has increased 93% nationwide, outpacing inflation by 41%, according to the Education Data Initiative. Here is what to know: While public colleges are generally less expensive than private institutions, tuition alone doesn't determine a school's value. Graduation rates, future earnings, financial aid and career opportunities also play a major role, according to SmartAsset, a financial technology company. The Education Data Initiative reports that the average tuition at a public four-year college was $10,340 during the 2025-26 academic year, compared with $39,307 at private universities. With student loan repayment resuming and the job market remaining a key consideration, many prospective students are weighing return on investment more carefully than ever. A new SmartAsset analysis ranked the best-value public colleges and universities in the country, and eight New York schools landed in the top 50. Here's which New York colleges made the list.
