"We'd have to break up families and farm kids out to nice middle-class parents."
And what's wrong with that? It's called adoption, and providing the children become available for adoption before their brains are hard-wired for cruelty (about 6-12 months) it works out well for everyone. It doesn't happen in the UK at the moment. Children are left with families like this one until they are neglected, abused and traumatised for life. Adoptive parents (like I might have been) will not generally take them on, so they stay in so-called "care".
