    Seriously fucked up. They could feed all those kids for free for a fraction of what it would cost the state to forcibly put them in foster care.

      They’re going to pay those other parents a stipend. Pay a case worker and their manager, pay an attorney. Those case workers are already bruised and battered nearly to death.
