I cannot imagine losing custody of your child while he's in an emergency situation for a couple months. This must be a nightmare.
Is that even legal ?
Anyone trying to get between my kids and I is going to have a very bad day.
But as an altruistic move for the greater good it is good.
That's only the case if overall children taken away from their parents end up with better outcomes than in societies where children aren't taken away from their parents, have you seen any data showing this is the case? Children in foster care tend to have horrifically bad outcomes, statistically speaking.
