We can point our finger at government all we like. But clearly this is a bigger social issue. We take children from toxic home environment, but we have nowhere to put them. Secure, happy, engaged couples aren't exactly lining up to adopt troubled children. How many people who are condemning the government and child services over these tragedies are willing to step up themselves and take a difficult 12 or 14 year old into their home to raise? Precious few.
