Taking away too many children weakens system
It is tempting to look at the tragic deaths of TaJanay Bailey, and Destiny Linden as opposites. After all, Tajanay died after being returned to an abusive home, while Destiny died in foster care, after being taken from a mother whose only crime was to be attacked by her boyfriend.
These cases conjure up images of a swinging pendulum, in which policy vacillates from taking too many children to doing too much to keep families together. But the data show that in Indiana it's almost exclusively a one-way pendulum.
