with an SRO on campus. Florida does a crap job caring for children. They are focus on family preservation instead of what’s in the best interest of the child. Children get bounced in and out of foster care for years rather than terminating parental rights and providing some stability. Of course, that would take spending money on them so don’t hold your breath. It’s not going to happen.

Sadly I think it's neither. They don't remove the children. Phoenix61 Jun 2021 #3
