Imagine that you are seven years old. You’ve just been removed from your home because your father beat you to the point of hospitalization. You’re all alone, with no one to turn to. A strange woman tells you that you are going to stay with another family for the time being.
There is a major problem in this country. Thousands of children are born every year into homes with no hope of supporting them. These children ultimately become a burden both upon the parent(s) who bore them, and hard-working American taxpayers. Worse still, many lose their opportunity and right to become successful adults, because they cannot be raised in an environment where they develop the appropriate social skills, emotional stability, and age-appropriate focus on their education to eventually become responsible members of society. Instead, they are forced to deal with parents who are dependent on others, including the children themselves, emotionally and financially.
