There's no food in the refrigerator.

The lights aren't on.

Maybe there is no house, right?

Maybe they're homeless.

You're not supposed to take kids from their parents because of homelessness, but happens all the time.

And you can understand why it would.

So yes, too many kids have been taken into foster care because just because you're poor doesn't mean you don't love your kids.

And maybe there are, not maybe, there surely are.

Some parents who are on the margins do not have the means to support their kids.

And if we supported people more, families more, we wouldn't be taking their kids into foster care, right?

If we help people keep the lights on, have housing stability.

Some basic stuff.

We wouldn't be compelled to take their kids into foster care.

Okay.

So, yes, make the system smaller.

Use the savings that you're not giving to foster parents now.

For family preservation services, more mental health, substance abuse treatment, there are kids who cannot be safe at home.

Which is down from even a couple of years ago because everyone goes, oh, foster care is such a damaging system.

So the priority is keep them with their families however you can.

Say you did these things, but there certainly are kids who are being sexually abused or tortured at home.
