What so often ends up happening is that a disabled parent is poor and CPS gets involved as a 'neglect' case, which ends up with the removal of the child. After the child is removed and placed in foster care, the government has to pay the foster parent to take care of the child. However, many times the only reason that the child was removed from their home in the first place was the original lack of resources. In other words, if the money that foster parents get can be given to biological parents instead, many fewer kids would be living in situations of 'neglect' that make up a vast majority of CPS cases.

Never thought of it this way. This book is very educational to me.
