CJ, the drug dealers didn't seem to have children like they do now. You didn't see FTT babies where the mother was an alcoholic and the dad was a drug dealer. It seemed different back then, at least where I grew up. I wonder if it is because alcoholic mothers had no support back then, so they would abort their babies? Back in those days, the foster care system seemed to be made up of healthy children from families that fell upon hard financial times (I think it's good that children aren't taken away today just because a family falls on hard financial times.), but the point is you didn't see FTT babies like you see today. Why is that? (FTT = fail to thrive, usually related to the mother being an alcoholic). Something like 80% of the foster care system today is because the parents are alcoholics.
