Mothers in Crisis Turn to Temporary ‘Parents’

This was an article from the NY time, discussing a program called "Safe Families for Children". If a mother is an abusive relationship, she could turn her children over to this organization. Or another new situation was if a family is having hardship such as foreclosure they could turn their children over. This is wrong on so many levels. Yes, when women are in bad relationship they need help getting out of the situation sometimes. It's more of a psy situation of helping the women getting out. Perhaps maybe, making it mandatory of counseling, have volunteers from the local churches baby sit for free, helping the women relocate, job assistance, and education assistance. For a mother, or a family to give up their child due to some kind of hardship it is just educating the mother or enabling her to not take care of her responsibilities in life. I do agree, that there should be more programs to help the women. Our community here, has the Dove's. Possibly, women need to have more knowledge that these "communities" are available.
