This is seriously frightening. I think I prefer living in a semi third world country, with less "care" and less regulation. I know people who I've longed for their children to be removed from their care, as their situation was so bad it couldn't be worse, but no matter what happened the authorities did basically nothing.
No matter where in the world, the children are always the victims. They are used as pawns in trivial games between adults. Thank you for bringing these stories to light.
