Instead of only asking “How do we house and care for abused children?” we must follow up by asking “How can we stop children from being abused?”
The painfully missing solution to reduce demand for foster homes is to let Texas use some of the same funds to prevent child maltreatment.
A new law, the Family First Prevention Services Act, allows just that.
