Illinois foster children are being moved repeatedly from one place to another, and traumatized – CBS2 (Chicago)

More than 60,000 foster children have been stuck in a vicious cycle of moving from one place to another - four, 10, 20, and even more homes and institutions. Children often suffer trauma as they constantly start over with new caregivers, communities, schools, and friends. Their paths should have been different.

Horrifically sickening incompetence. What are all the DCFS $billions$ spent on? How long can jb get away with blaming rauner?
from the article—“National data also shows 6% of children spent five or more years in child welfare systems. In Illinois, 26% of children were in the system that long. Illinois ranked last nationally in reunifying families within one year. It ranked second-to-last nationally in getting children adopted and out of the system within two years.”

The state of IL will make every accommodation to kill your baby in the womb, but does little to take care of them after they are born. Which ironically, is the same criticism they use against pro-life supporters.
