This is the part that I found disturbing. I think the writer was hinting abut how abusive the foster parents without mentioning them by name.
'Foster care is supposed to be foster parenting. Parenting is supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Foster care is not supposed to be belittling, the child is not supposed to be your free worker bee.'

However, in the couple’s last annual report regarding the girl, they said she was returned to state custody on July 7, 2006; court documents did not state why the judge took that action.
