[QUOTE="klmno, post: 482229, member: 3699"] And what about a parent who just can't get adequate services for the difficult child without putting him/her in the dss system? That always starts with a FH due to it being the LRE. Examplle- single mom, out of control difficult child and only thing available if kid stays with mom are short stays in psychiatric hospital. If kid goes to dss, the kid can get services thru medicaid and those pay for a WHOLE lot more. Don't assume that all single moms are on medicaid or qualify for it. If my son had been the high-maintenance difficult child he is now when he was 4,8, whatever...I would have had no choice but to consider DSS. I'm not saying I would have definitely done that, but my only 2 choices would have been dss or quitting work and living on welfare, etc. If you work as a prof, you don't get all that child care help and so forth and mainstream day cares won't take a kid who's that much of a difficult child so mom can go to work just to have a decent roof, food and insurance that covers the min.
