How about we quit taking kids from their parents just because they're poor and just let people live without throwing them out of their houses instead?

Most of the time it's worse than "poor" (abuse, etc).
But yeah, I mean if the parent is working and still can't afford a livable situation the government should help out monetarily rather than take the kids away.

Child kidnapping and trafficking in America is appalling, return the children abducted back to their parents. It makes me sick people whining about foriegn National children yet they have no problem with these child traffickers kidnapping American children from their families.

Parents who abuse and neglect their children should have their kids taken and never given back.
