I fostered for a few years. The courts gave back kids to parents that raped their own kids. The only parents I saw out of hundreds that lost their rights failed to pass a drug test for marijuana.

Sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect are fine to the system. Not one out of dozens of foster care workers went out on a limb for the kids, they all went through the motions because they were afraid to lose their jobs.

The director or the state system we fostered in was married to the state placement manager. They adopted two separate kids from placements where rights were terminated.

I stopped supporting the system because as much as we did, we only propped up the nightmare.
