It's very sad what some children endure. When it comes down to it, I always blame the government. They cause the problem by promoting the break up the family by making it so both parents work and when the one parent blows town (almost always the dad) they hook single mom's into the a state of welfare dependency which sometimes turns into a reward system. Then when conditions get so bad they take the child and put it into another bad situation where the foster provider just wants the government money too. Problem, Reaction, Solution. That's how large, bloated government always works. Thank God there are still caring, loving foster parents out there but I sadly think they are few and far between. God Bless!
