Wolfgang Hunter - Opioid crisis strains foster system as kids are pried from homes

There is a seeming epidemic within the United States in which young children are being orphaned and set within the foster care system because of parents and guardians overdosing on heroin, as well as other fatal drugs. In turn, this is placing a noticeable strain upon the foster system, as thousands of young children are flooding it.

This situation is absolutely disgusting. These drug users are pulling families apart, as many of these siblings being orphaned cannot go into the same foster home. Furthermore, I had no idea that the stressing of the foster system was a growing threat within the country; these are the problems that media sources need to be focusing on.
