The IFC team works with children from the District of Columbia who have been removed from their birth parents and placed in licensed foster homes in Maryland. The children we serve may have been left home alone or lived in deplorable home conditions; are coping with educational delays and medical neglect; many have been physically or sexually abused, and/or left with unwilling caregivers. Some children have witnessed their parents struggling with drug dependency, domestic violence, or serious emotional limitations that affect their ability to parent safely.

This is so upsetting. The three kids charged with the crime probably never had a decent shot at a decent life. That doesn't excuse their actions, but my god the way we manage our most vulnerable kids in this country is beyond fcked. What chance do they really have?[/quote]
Three kids from DC with bad parents were placed in a very nice group home facility in Bethesda that provides constant care and therapy and sent to the best public school in the area.

If you are correct that with all of this money and support they “never had a chance” to not turn into murderers then that has pretty serious ramifications for public policy in a number of areas. I am not sure that you are thinking this through, but if you are then you may want to think about the downstream implications of your beliefs because it implies that the following are worthless:

- care and therapy to neglected juveniles
- racially and economically integrating schools

These are all pointless because kids have no chance to overcome circumstances, right?[/quote]
