I am quite sure you know how I feel about Children's Village.
In the child welfare system, once you enter, there is no return to your station of life in the hierarchy of chattel law.
It is just a salvific thing, more intuitively recognized as "Kids For Cash".

Nine staffers and residents have tested positive for the coronavirus at Oakland County Children's Village and 17 other employees are self-isolating at home for 14 days.
County health officials are working to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the juvenile detention facility after an employee tested positive Sept. 3, according to a statement from the county.
Since then, four more staff members and four residents have tested positive. All were close contacts of each other and were connected to one building. They are in isolation, the county stated.
The county health division has not determined the source of the original exposure.
Children's Village, located in Pontiac, offers detention, residential treatment and shelter care services to children and youth who come under the jurisdiction of the court and are deemed to be temporarily in need of out-of-home care, custody and treatment.
It has seven buildings, but only six are being used right now because the population is low, said Bill Mullan, spokesman for County Executive Dave Coulter.
Mullan said the outbreak occurred in residential treatment. He said three employees and two residents had symptoms.
There are 73 residents and 188 full-time employees at Children's Villages, the county stated in its release.
The health division conducted a contact investigation that required 17 additional employees to self-isolate.
It also tested all Children's Village employees and residents for the virus and will continue to do so until all results are negative, according to the county.
Nearby, the Oakland County Jail, the lockup for adults, reported no cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday, Undersheriff Mike McCabe said.
Jail officials were sued earlier this year in federal court related to inmate care amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but the sheriff's office won an appeal in July.
