If the evidence from FloriDUH's experience is any guide (and I think it is) a child taken from an "abusive" home and put into foster care will be abused more than if left in the original home.

In effect, the ever suffering taxpayers are paying AgencyPersons and foster parents to fund the Chester The Molester bunch to molest children in state custody. What a wonderful, sensitive, caring way for Liberals to feel good. "After all, we ARE doing something" says the Liberal.

There is a good reason that the Founders restricted the government to a very constrained set of activities. Government can't raise children, and while life is full of evil, government intervention often adds to said evils rather than helping the situation.

Is there any answer? Yes - look at history. Families and churches once dealt with such problems, so did at no cost to the general public, and had a higher success than some collection of goobers in a gooberment agency.

As Santayana said, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." That is fair enough for adults who may not care if they suffer the consequences of their actions.

But to knowingly inflict suffering on those unable to either have a say in the situation, or able to do anything to avoid such evils being forced upon them, is to commit a particularly egregious form of evil.

And I include both the perps and those enablers in the agencies. A pox upon both!
