Why put your kid in a bedroom when you can cage them?

seems like they have good reasons, but do you think they use leashes, litter boxes, and rewards for doing good things.

That's nothing, I remember the KQRS morning show on the radio here talking several times about one where the parents had her in a cage all the time, not only that but she was naked. She had a little drain pipe in the cage to shit and piss in.. It was fucking terrible. Then they played a few audio clips of the parents being interviewed and they thought it was totally normal.. fucking psychos

There is something seriously wrong with the Foster/child placement system. How the hell does a single couple get 11 fricken special needs children? One is a handful.

the system in most regions is already overburdened and the state pays people $$ for every kid they take in, a lot more if they have special needs. it can be pretty profitable. its either live in a foster home with 11 kids and 2 care givers or an orphanage with 200 kids and maybe 4-6 caregivers.

ideally a caseworker visits the home regularly, inspects it and talks to the kids to make sure they aren't being mistreated. ideally, anyway...
