I don't think Margie was actually suggesting to PUT difficult children into foster care.

Right! exactly. Most people don't realize that the people at children's services are honestly not there just to take your child away. They have lots of other services they can provide a family - they can teach a parent how to discipline without beating. They can connect a family with counselors if needed (and frankly, if you have a child at 15 who pushes your buttons to the point that you feel the need to choke them, then there is a clear need for intervention!).
