Even after resolving other safety concerns, parents in Georgia can wait for months to be reunited with their children, often because of what advocates say are stringent requirements sought by the state’s Division of Family and Children Services.
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
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.
