Where was it, in NJ, where those 4 boys were being starved in their foster home? I think it was a foster home. Wasn't there a younger brother they found in a suitcase or a rubbermaid in the basement? I think that's what happened.

Foster care misses so much because the workers are so overwhelmed by their case loads. It's not an excuse, but the administrators who assign the cases and don't hire enough people really need to get a clue. I know it has to be hard to keep up, but damn, I think I'd be out there 24hrs a day if I had to to keep up with the kids and make sure they were safe. None of the faking reports and all that crap.

Again.. society. What is going on.
