This is what I have been told and because of all these restrictions, they are driving the good people away.JediSkipdogg wrote:It's generated by the idiots that have the kids and then the idiots that want to foster the kids just for the money. Debating that exact aspect she said a lot is controlled by public pressure to do something after a major foster care incident. So then they make it tougher for others. You'd be amazed how often they yank kids. I think my girlfriend is called 2-3 times a month to yank kids from a foster home after the caregivers are arrested for something. Kinda sad when you think Highland County doesn't have as much as say Butler or Hamilton County.CroManGun wrote:This needs more publicity; they're always crying about a shortage of foster homes. Seems the shortage is self-generated by the agencies themselves!
Not saying this is what the OP is doing, but it's very profitable IMO. Butler County gets about $25 per day per kid, then something like $100 per month for clothing. So you get something like $10,000 a year for each kid, plus lots of options for more money when it comes to mileage. I've had people where I work call that their child has run away or call us for a domestic at the house then beg us not to do a report on it. Essentially, they want us to do it all off the books because if the agency finds out they can remove the child and revoke the license. Essentially, they are in it for the money only. Kind of sad if you ask me. But those abuses to the system punish the good ones.
