I wouldn’t be surprised if those kids were there thru a DCF voucher. DCF is quick to ignore any hint of neglect or abuse when it’s happening in a contracted facility and MA is arguably the worst state in the country for kids in foster care.

That has not been my experience at all. In fact, DCF is actively pursuing a carer who took vouchers once a foster parent filed a 51A over neglect at the facility, on the other side of the state.

And as bad as the foster system in MA absolutely can be...I can assure you that it is far, far, far worse in certain other states, particularly red states.
