Similar cases as described in this poem have occurred in local-America:
Starved teen locked in Helena basement gives horrifying testimony at parent's sentencing
Nebraska couple sentenced for locking foster child in basement

Foster care can have very mixed results. When potential parents raise concerns, agencies often deceive them. Furthermore, the older children get, the less attractive adoption becomes to them and the lower the chance of success. Children need permanent homes in order to bond with adults -- or it just doesn't happen, with dismal results.
