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
Maryland’s $1.2 billion "child welfare" blunder

@fesshole my parents forced corpses on me even when I said that I don't want to eat animals.

My mother smoked, not only in front of me but letting me lit her cigarettes. I wasn't even 10. Now I have COPD. I never smoked myself.

My parents let me drink alcohol before I even went to Kindergarden. My father even forced it on me after I started school

So having a caring mother that even cares for animals & the future of her child is the best thing that happens to your child

@fesshole My family of origin fed me meat and other animal products before I was even aware of myself. They didn't let me choose for myself whether I wanted to consume animal products or not when old enough to understand what that meant.

They also smoked in front of me (my mother during pregnancy as well), gave me alcoholic drinks since I remember instead of letting me choose whether to drink them or not when old enough to understand the consequences, and they forced me to undergo Catholic rituals threatening me with physical and economic violence.

You could buy a whole lot of humane, in-home mental health care for a child for $190,000 per year. That would equal $1.2 billion over 5 years for every child taken away in Maryland. Guess how Maryland will spend the money instead: https://www.nccprblog.org/2026/04/marylands-12-billion-child-welfare.html #childwelfare #fostercare #childabuse

Maryland is likely to spend $1.2 billion over the next five years to warehouse children in 637 institutional beds. For that same money, they could give nearly $190,000 per child per year to every family that had a child taken from them and thrown into #fostercare https://www.nccprblog.org/2026/04/marylands-12-billion-child-welfare.html #childwelfare #childabuse
