Note: I know this was a few days ago. Funny thing. I go through hundreds of news articles a day. This is the first I've seen of this. I don't believe it made the mainstream media. Why? Either that or I missed it. Typicolly when there is a story this important, IE the Federal Government looking into anything foster care related, I would come across it several times.
