I said exactly the same thing in another sub. Why does everyone revel in crapping on the people who are doing one of the worst jobs imaginable? It's almost like the government wants the organization to fail and makes it impossible for them to be effective.

The other important thing a lot of people don't understand/don't want to accept is that the research right now points to keeping children with their families. Taking kids away from their families is not only more expensive, but the outcomes tend to be worse for them in foster care/group homes. DCYF is charged, therefore, with trying to keep children with their parents and provide help/guidance to the family.

Now maybe the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction and more kids will be pulled from parents in the future, but there it is...
