Episode #059 - Can You Foster Children Ethically?

Spoiler Alert: Of course you can, it's just way more complicated than we originally thought. Olivia delves into the foster system in part 2 of 3 for her "Kids" series episode. What does fostering actually mean? Where did it come from? How do our current attitudes about poor people inform the way we approach caring for their children? And, most importantly, how can we foster kids in a way that encourages reunification? FEATURING: the definition of neglect, firsthand class disparity, and why you should almost never call CPS.
