That’s absolutely disgusting. The state should not kidnap children when their housing conditions cannot be met by a minimum wage.
As if taking the kids away from a stable, albeit less-than-ideal, home to send them to an even worse situation is the solution.
Sometimes the state can be way too bureaucratic and heartless.
Foster Care is TERRIBLE for kids. Only the most severe cases of abuse and neglect should cause removal. In these cases adoption should be looked at because the instability of foster homes causes measurable damages
Apparently everybody before 1800 was a bad parent.
“You don’t have have air conditioning, it’s not safe for your kids to be here!” - someone in 1800 probably
Goodness, I wonder what's different about the climate since 1800...
Are you suggesting children in 2024 should not be allowed to be reunited with their parents unless those parents can afford air conditioning?
My parents grew up in homes with 3 bedrooms and 5-6 kids. They made it work and it wasn’t considered a problem back then.
My mother and her family grew up in New York City apartments, which were usually one bedroom. She and her brother slept in the living room.
Bunk beds have existed for a long time, not that big a deal.
Sad stuff. Another case of the perfect being the enemy of the good.
It's bloated, parent homes who meet basic requirements for a child have to get them back asap. There's no excuse for a system to be this slow.
That's a big problem in the foster system too.
