This is the only part that I have a problem with at a glance. There are definitely reasons for children to be removed from the home. Child abuse (whether physical, sexual, or emotional/mental) and dangerous living conditions are valid reasons for a child to be taken away from the parents.
That one's a difficult call but in the type of state we're speaking of there won't be any financial incentives for the state to take the children. I also believe that extended family and family pride makes a huge difference. . But who decides what's abuse? Is yelling at your child abuse? Spanking (not beating?) Taking away the cell phone and video games? In many states this is abuse. I don't think the state should have the right to make that call for my children or anyone else's.
