We can't offer public assistance to poor children because it creates "welfare queens", which is a stereotype that whites have about blacks that they are lazy and will cheat.
Do you have evidence that public assistance is being withheld?
If anything, people aren't taking advantage of public assistance available. I remember reading that Medicaid (health insurance for the poor) was only used by half of the people eligible.
