One percent or less of foster children are found to be abused when in state care, according to reports from state monitors.
Safe? I guess it all depends on how you define "safe." If you ask the kids themselves, they don't feel safe.
Interesting about the homeschooling. They let gays adopt you know? My neice (lesbian) had 2 foster kids and was going to adopt one (that she only had for one month) when she shot herself with her policewoman girlfriend's (also approved by the state) gun.
But I would be unfit, apparently. Nice.
