Required Drug Testing for Foster Parents

Required Drug Testing for Foster Parents

A few weeks ago, I happened to see a news interview with the grandmother of a 10-month-old girl who perished after she was left in the car by her foster father.  The foster dad smoked weed and watched ‘Game of Thrones’ while the little girl was baked alive in the car.  It was a child crying on the show that reminded the foster dad that he had left the baby in his car.  During the grandmother’s interview, she expressed her shock, outrage, and grief over the situation. As awful and senseless as this situation is, something the grandmother said stuck out more than anything else about the story: she thought that foster parents received drug testing.
