I'm sure it is not true of all, but there are certainly many stories of abuse in foster homes.

And kids taking revenge must be a huge problem.

Recently my daughter was shopping with a friend and her five and three year old sons. When she pulled the three year old out of a toy display he was destroying, he yelled, "She's abusing me! Call somebody! She's abusing me!"

Fortunately those nearby saw what was happening and laughed, but those silly words of a three year old could have gotten that child taken away from his family.

The potential of taking a child from his parents can be as frightening as leaving them with the parents.
