I watched We were Children last night, To say the treatment of these children is shameful is an understatement and we are just reaping what was sowed. . Putting neglected children into foster care is perpetuating the results – remove from home, etc. Use some of that money to help the families keep and care for their children. More support and mentoring might bring a better solution. Is it going to cost the taxpayers more money? Hopefully only in the short term. Will it bring better results? Can’t be worse than what is happening now.
