[QUOTE="Shari, post: 197664, member: 1848"] I was reading an article on CHRON about this and one lawmaker said something to the effect of "these are just kids that they can't control and the caregivers see this as an easy way out of it". Guess I took a little issue with that. I don't know the history of the kids that have been surrendered, other than 2 have diagnosis'es of behavior type disorders. I know I have had to walk away from difficult child 1 before, and if someone said that about me, that I was taking the easy way out...I might need to walk away from them, too. Its terrible to abandon a child. Its more terrible that the system sometimes leaves people with no other options. [/QUOTE]
