This. It’s literally state-sanctioned kidnapping. And sometimes it’s a net good. But it’s never nonviolent and never not traumatic. The state’s doing it either way, so I still think it’s a good thing to open a foster home if someone has the capacity, but still. It props up and justifies the fact that families need to live in poverty and without mental health services in the first place.
