Yep. I've known people who either grow up entirely or at least spent some time in foster care. The system... is not well regulated (though that does vary by state I suppose). A lot of sexual and other abuse happens in them.... in some cases it could literally be worse than having coked out parents who occasionally forget to feed you.This isn't so cut and try. The Foster Care system is hell, and CPS knows this.
I've heard stories of a lot of people fostering for the money.... if you can get the state to pay you $800 a month to foster a kid, and you're able to keep them alive for cheaper than that.... well you just made a profit.
The best case I can imagine for Nick's kid is that he doesn't get them back, but they end adopted by a decent family member.
