The family in NJ that the article mentions, were getting thousands of dollars per month to look after their "adopted" (actually state-placed foster kids), and were obviously finding a better use for the money than feeding the kids with it. Their own biological kids were treated fine.
It is the "foster care industry" that needs to be looked into, not homeschooling
Exactly the point.
The foster-care industry is big business. There are organizations of black social workers who lobby endlessly to prevent black babies from being adopted by white couples. Why? Because there are more black babies needing adoption than black couples willing to adopt. The excess are placed in foster care. While in foster care, the foster parents are paid money, and social workers have jobs "monitoring" the kids. If the kids were adopted, there would be less budget money in the social service/foster-care industry
