This was a very thoughtful and insightful read. I've seen and hear about kids in foster care all the time. However, I've also seen the negative effects that come with assigning the child to a family member. I've seen kids have both positive and negative effects by being raised by Grandma or an aunt. Thus, IDK if that is much better. It might be better to keep the child with their parents but some parents just can't do it and that's why this is such a tough issue that we really need to discuss more. Because you're right it isn't as easy as just taking the kids away from their home.
