Child Starves as Foster Home Banks Cash

In this tragic story, a Michigan mother simply wanted help caring for her wheel-chair bound son. When she asked the state for assistance, their answer was to put him in a foster care facility. This 10-year-old boy would starve to death under the care of this foster care facility, which was making $12,000 per month to care for him.
