Hey- I thought we were trying to come up with an alternative that offered something better than leaving them in their existing situation which is unacceptable, and placing them in a group home.

Maybe I was very fortunate, but the two areas in which I worked in social services, had some excellent foster homes. Really good. And the group home in Lexington, Va was run by a very loving, highly educated woman whom I knew well. We never worried about those placements other than the expected trauma of removal. Smaller communities have better resources in many ways. Our caseload was manageable. I have never worked in an inner city ghetto type setting, but I don't think that is the kind of environment where these kids are either.

Again, it sounds as if you are saying that the preferable choice is leaving them as is, and I would strongly have to disagree with that one. There isn't an ideal solution, and decent foster homes and counseling ARE a reality in some areas. I didn't dream them.
