Just heard on the radio that the state is cracking down on "keeping foster kids in hotel rooms" due to a foster parent shortage. And "now they will be required to shuttle kids to and from school"

... their MO has been to "place" kids in hotel rooms and then not take them to school??..

A lot of strange activity in the Northwest

They could ask if Oregon children have a great experience in foster care. Not likely. For starters, there are all those scandals about abuse in Oregon foster care. Even without the scandals, study after study, including two from Oregon and Washington State, have found abuse in one-quarter to one-third of foster homes. The rate of abuse in group homes and institutions is worse.

Even when there is no abuse per se, one of those Oregon studies found that only one in five foster care "alumni" does well in later life. In other words, the system is churning out walking wounded four times out of five. Two other massive studies found that in typical cases -- not the horror stories that make headlines -- children left in their own homes fare better than comparably-mistreated children living in foster care

At best, CPS is ineffective

Aty worst, it's downright criminal
