If you want the name of the person standing behind the letter,
Wyoming Valley West’s lawyer, Charles Coslett, said he did not consider the letters to be threatening.
“Hopefully, that gets their attention and it certainly did, didn’t it? I mean, if you think about it, you’re here this morning because some parents cried foul because he or she doesn’t want to pay a debt attributed to feeding their kids. How shameful,” Coslett told WYOU-TV.
I’m having a hard time confirming it, but it looks like an Irvin DeRemer was the super while this occurred, but was replaced in the 2025 election.
It’s also an empty threat,
Luzerne County’s manager and child welfare agency director have written the superintendent, insisting the district stop making what they call false claims.
Also. The majority of long term homeless individuals are people that aged out of the foster care system. The moment they turn 18 they are out on their ass with only the clothing on their back and no life skills because foster care in America is little better than prison.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit on the behalf of all foster children (past and present) against the US government. It would almost be impossible for any other modern country to do a worse job.
Who made this warning?
I need a name
Because that has nothing to do with debt, putting kids in foster care wound only cost the state even more money
That is only about unbridled power and control
Absolutely delusional
Agreed. Name and shame. Whatever fucker came up with this deserves to be ostracised.

Aka slavery. The stories of foster kids are often horrific.

I’d like to see that happen, with meaningful reparations and meaningful, systemic changes and better oversight.
Yes, but kids in foster care are easy to abuse, so your tax dollars might be worth it for some.
