Having never tried to adopt anything myself, it is my understanding that most state and local care agencies are way overworked/understaffed.
Special needs kids are the hardest to place, and most expensive to care for. How much scrutiny is an agency going to give someone who is willing to take an armload of trouble off of the state budget? |

What would you have the state do to rectify this situation? I would offer an answer here, but I don't frankly know. Ideally, there would be families out there who take care of the kids right, but I don't see that as being truly possible... for ELEVEN kids in one area. Hm.

Here's what I would do...
1. Put the kids in county/state custody (done) 2. Put the "parents" in a cage...and know that they'll likely be much more spacious & comfortable than the ones that their kids were in.

Why do we have prisons? Isolation of dangerous members of society and reformation and rehabilitation was the original idea. Of course, that's now how it works. Prisons are an expensive way to make bad people worse. Private sector, for-profit prisons benifit investors to the detriment of society. I wish there were a way to convince these corporations that there is greater profit investing in youth programs intended to PREVENT crime and criminals.
