Eleven days ago I read and replied to an article posted by @meapatriot titled "Canada seting new (and painful ) lows in family seperation "standards. The basic theme of this post is that poverty can now be the sole reason for removing a child from their parents. How long will it be before this practice is put into law here in the states. In my reply to this post, I stated that during my 30 years of teaching many of the students I taught came from a family that was struggling financially. Despite the hardships that come along with not having enough money, the parents were good parents. The last thing that should happen to them is to have their child taken from them. "Now it's more about making money by taking children from families in order to justify the utility of one's job, and keep the money flowing into foster care and adoption contracts." It is always about money.
