    It’s sadly not really surprising to me that suicides are high in the foster care system. It’s hard to get good parents into the system when they receive extremely little support from child protective services. It’s also not surprising that child protective services doesn’t offer a lot of support. The foster care system and child protective services system are deliberately left underfunded and typically have their funding cut each year. Which leads to their flaws being made worse each year since they can’t get the funding needed to fix the problems.

      Billionaires need those TANF funds, yo. And watch in 2026 as the system implodes because kids can’t get services due to Medicaid cuts.
