Children get bounced in and out of foster care for years rather than terminating parental rights and providing some stability. Of course, that would take spending money on them so dont hold your breath. Its not going to happen.

(778 posts)There have been news stories about children sleeping in offices and in cars, Etc. Supposedly there was no room for them in facilities. I haven't heard anything about that lately, but either they straightened up because they were caught or they have remedied the situation.

It's probably been a couple of years ago, but there were many children who were in the system and they didn't have places for them to sleep. It had something to do with the Social Services Department, and if I bump into the link about it, I will post it here.
