Honestly I think it goes a lot deeper than money or lack of training. Most of the people I have run into have deep commitment to children. I think it's a reflection of where we are as a species, the place where "otherness" is just too threatening. Any kind of "otherness" at all. Leftover from mammal heritage of social behavior? Perhaps - But not our fate, only our current moment, our big rock to roll today. My life is entirely better and different with support and community. Changes that are this big are slow and painful. the cost is way to high - but - it's the fight we were handed.
Thanks for the sympathy - I'm so glad for every kid who is well cared for!
