Madam Punisher 🔥(@ElizabethPDove ):On Child Protection Services Decades ago, the National Commission on Children found that children often are removed from their families “prematurely or unnecessarily” because federal aid formulas give states “a strong financial incentive” to do so rather than provide services to keep families together. Since then, if anything, the incentives have only gotten worse. That’s partly because of the so-called Adoption and Safe Families Act. Some private agencies do indeed make money on foster care. These agencies are paid for every day they keep a child in foster care. If they return a child home or get a child adopted the reimbursement stops.
