“Those homes didn’t look large enough for 10 kids.”

No, they do not.
Crowded conditions are not good for foster kids, I imagine.
Now, I wonder if the foster mother was trying to pack them in there for the money or if she was pressured to take on a lot of kids by Children’s Services because they had more kids in need of foster care than people willing to take them on. Maybe she’s just guilty of not being able to say she has all she can handle right now.
I have two non biological foster kids. They paid me zero dollars the first 6 months and I paid 1500.00 in day care. I finally got a check on the 7th month. 11 months later they cut me off again. I finally got a check this week. Total daily stipend over 20 months is 3.60 a day for each child. To cover food, clothes and everything else. It also took them 6 months to issue me their medical card. No retro on any funds are permitted. It’s been a nightmare.
So was Janiah the one in pink?
Another possibility: the 10 kids are all siblings. CPS prefers to keep them together if possible.
