G--you mean, sorta like we did with the "Indian Schools"?

Ask Native Americans about that wonderful experience of benevolence.

Watch "Rabbit Fence."



Newflash.

Most parents do the very best they can for their children, given the knowledge and the resources, both internally and externally, available to them.

How about we look at the myriad ways we as a society can support families and parents. If at all possible, families need to be left whole. There are times when parents are emotionally or physically unfit or unable to provide nonabusive or non-neglectful care of thier children, and then I agree, the children need removed from the home.   

But a policy of routinely removing children from their families in order that they learn the correct values and skills to stay off the public dole sucks for air.

Talk to professionally trained Child Protective Service Workers. Ask them about the scarcity of resources to help families function in emotionally and socially healthy ways.
