One Half of a Kid
I've been trying to keep up with the news in Pickens County (via the Pickens Progress) since I hope to live up there in the next year or two.
This recent article explains that:
"Right now there are 96 kids under the care of Pickens DFCS who want a stable home and family, whether it be one reunited with their biological parents or a new home with foster parents. Of those 96, a staggering 99.5 percent are from parents or caretakers who abuse methamphetamines."
99.5% of 96 kids? *Pulls out calculator.* Right, so, approximately one half of one kid is not there due to parents who abused meth?
