I think you're conflating group homes with foster homes.Nick is actually the biggest retard in the universe. After all that huffing and puffing on his stream he's now fighting with randos on twitter about his actual ongoing criminal case concerning the fate of his children. His kids are like one step away from going to the white trash version of the foster home portrayed in The Wire. It's fucked up getting institutionalized as a kid, even temporarily, even for a few weeks. These places are not good, even the nice one's are basically half-way houses. Half the kids have serious behavioral issues including random violence. In an urban setting you'll have 11 year olds with loose gang associations. 14 year old girls getting pregnant with plenty of self-harm and suicidal behavior. Every other day someone will just be hysterically screaming or smashing shit throughout the night.
Instead of being a good little statist boy and crossing his T's, dotting his I's. He's rage-posting on twitter. IHMO this is worse than actually intentionally dosing your 9 year old with hard drugs (within reasonable bounds). A marginal amount of cocaine will be nothing compared the serious psychological damage that comes from institutionalization.
I'm not sure how they do foster homes in Minnesota, but in Ontario, Canada to be a foster parent you have to pass some pretty rigid standards. Have your own home, certain equity, tons of communication with the agency, etc.
In my previous career of a child and youth care worker (now fire fighter) I've worked for both group homes and foster homes. Group homes can be an absolute shit hole with children who have been absolutely fucked over in life. In contrast with foster parents I've worked with I never had an issue as they were all committed to being, well, foster parents.
