Institutionalizing children doesn’t work – even when the institutions are not rife with #childabuse, as so many are. But Maryland is likely to throw $1.2 billion at institutionalization over five years anyway. https://www.nccprblog.org/2026/04/marylands-12-billion-child-welfare.html #childwelfare #fostercare
