Victor Wembanyama after being asked about his thoughts on the environment: 

“Of course, I care a lot about it, and I feel a certain guilt about polluting so much as someone who flies 41 times a season. 

But..I want to have an impact, and I want to counteract this negative carbon footprint through whatever impact I can, financially [or] socially, I want to have an impact for the future...Investing, yes, but not for profit.”

So, to recap: a mom became homeless, went to DFCS for housing aid, had her children taken away instead, and was then *billed* for their foster care—leaving her $13k in debt and making it harder to secure the very housing she needed to get them back. Hard to imagine a crueler, more perverse system.

This wasn't a one-off: about 4000 parents in GA have also been billed for their children's foster care. Now a judge has ordered the state to stop collecting fees once children are adopted or age out. But the core practice remains: Georgia can still bill parents while their kids are in foster care.

The vast majority of child maltreatment cases are related to neglect, and the vast majority of neglect cases are related to poverty. The family policing system is just another tool for the state to exert its power—it was never intended to protect children.
